Working Girls

“I have not seen Working Girls since it first came out. I remember this being a really powerful film for me. It was so unlike anything I had seen. So this is Lizzie Borden, and it had a big influence, I think, on Exotica, probably, just in terms of the tone of it, the coolness of it, I guess, the emotional coolness of it. I felt it was something you wouldn’t have been able to do if it was being made as a commercial film. So this was really, really important.”

“I love Working Girls, Lizzie Borden, another great female director. This is a great film, if you haven’t seen it. She deals with sex work in a way that no one really discovered in that time. She dealt with as human beings and not in a way that was shameful. And did this years and years ago. So, Lizzie Borden.”

“Oh my god, Working Girls. Lizzie Borden, very important.”
