SUFF - Give Me Pity!
Drawing from her background in dance and theatre arts, rising indie filmmaker Amanda Kramer (Please Baby Please) invites us to a Primetime Saturday Night Network Television Spectacular! A delightful, horror-tinged cringe-comedy that would be perfectly at home on late-night Adult Swim, GIVE ME PITY! is a satirical send-up of American television—complete with musical numbers, commercial breaks, thematic segments and a melting, analogue video aesthetic mined for all its psychedelic potential. Embodied by Sophie Von Haselberg’s spectacular performance in the lead role, Kramer’s daring monologue confirms a rare talent for words. Here is an extravagant “hour of television” composed with exquisite wit and intelligence, doubling as a thorough takedown of noxious, showbiz expectations—performance of gender, of beauty, of success—that cast a long shadow on women’s limelight.
