A SWEETLY PERVERSE GENDERNAUT FABLE ON THE HIGH SEAS!

In this microbudget miniDV drag king pirate movie, wily seafarers capture a naïve Butch and promise him that if he can find the Queen’s stolen treasure, they will be give him his heart’s desire: the seductive femme Claudia. Soon Butch is sailing on treacherous seas, swept away by dangerous desires where tops are bottomed, pirate captains are seduced by tranny sailors and cross-dressing femmes pack a wallop. GIRL KING is a sumptous adventure! Writer/director Ileana Pietrobruno’s ecstatic adventure collages genuine seafaring action on a real pirate ship, nautical stock footage, softcore erotica, cheeky mythology, and the joy of backyard action into a hilarious, seductive, and epic fantasy. Pietrobruno’s inventiveness transcends pastiche, and her movie collapses all borders of cinema, gender, resources, and taste. Invigorating sexy sea chanty cinema with a sick electronic score by Amos Tobin. Screens with a pre-recorded interview with Ileana Pietrobruno by Heather Fraser. SIMILAR: City of Lost Souls (1983) Maggots and Men, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Odyssey, Possibly in Michigan CONTENT NOTES: Features a small amount of hardcore sex
