Kamikaze Hearts
[Screening July 19 at Nitehawk Williamsburg.] Juliet Bashore's award-winning, fascinating, gritty, multifaceted, risqué, candid, enlightening, 87-minute, 1986 pseudo-documentary that blurs reality and fiction and focuses on greenhorn, lesbian porn actress Tigr who falls in love with charismatic, cynical, exhibitionist veteran porn star Sharon Mitchell in San Francisco while purportedly filming an adult version of Carmen in 1980s in an industry where drugs, misogyny, physical and sexual abuse, exploitation, and narcissism run rampant.
