(120 R) 1997 Germany, United States Susan Streitfeld, director
Opens May 2
In her US film debut, Academy Award-winner Tilda Swinton stars as a bi-sexual lawyer on the edge of professional breakthrough, personal breakdown, and sexual awakening in this erotic psychological drama.
Eve Stephens (Tilda Swinton), an ambitious and successful trial lawyer in Los Angeles, is up for appointment as a judge while juggling her proclivity for meaningless sex and her relationship with her kleptomaniac sister.
As she navigates intimate relationships with both male and female partners, Eve finds fantasy and reality converging, leading to a tense climax that will decide her personal and professional fate.
A contender for the Grand Jury Prize at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, FEMALE PERVERSIONS marks the feature film debut of director Susan Streitfeld as well as the American film debut of Tilda Swinton.
Based on the 1991 psychology text Female Perversions: The Temptations of Emma Bovary by Louise J.
Kaplan, Streitfelds film is an inspired amalgamation of erotic drama and psychological thriller set within the cutthroat environs of the Los Angeles justice system.
Long unavailable, we`re proud to present Susan Streitfelds daring foray into the perverse in a brand new restoration.
This restoration was completed from a 4K, 16-bit scan of the 35mm original camera negative by Vinegar Syndrome in Bridgeport, Connecticut, via an ARRISCAN XT.
Frame-by-frame manual digital restoration, color grading, and transferring of the original stereo optical track sound was also completed by Vinegar Syndrome.
This restoration was a collaboration between Hope Runs High and Cinématographe, supervised by Taylor Purdee of Hope Runs High, Justin LaLiberty of Cinématographe, and Ryan Emerson of Vinegar Syndrome.
FotoKem provided the film negatives.
