Commercial for Murder

1985 15 min English

Tells a stylized tale of a drag queen's battle to decipher his identity as he approaches the complexities and dangers of desire through seduction and costume. Treats the subject of gender identity with a popular sensibility as it captures the otherworldliness of club life, incorporating the music of the rock band Rough Trade.
