Film Overview

This humorous, shocking, and controversial film attempts to deal with the subject of AIDS in a wild, farcical manner. Its characters inclue a woman therapist who teaches death meditation to AIDS patients, a female reporter who dresses up like a man and snoops around the gay scene, a reactionary sauna boss whose boyfriend studies theology and sings in Bach choirs, and the Bermudaas as back-up singers dresses as nuns and nurses singing “Hoorray, We're Sill Alive.” Black humor abounds, as an act of furious provocation.
