Description
"A curious meditation on the pleasures and terrors of S/M, in which interviews with enthusiasts collide with choice pornographic clips, Fleisher cartoons, Hans Bellmer dolls... The results are convincing, this film lingers, never slipping into hype or deadly coldness."
— Manohla Dargis on L'Amour Fou, Village Voice
"Please show this film! It is unique, it is real, it resembles no other film. What is seen in it cannot be seen anywhere else. It will shock some, but the fact is there are shocking things in this world and we should know and see them, nothing human should be hidden from knowledge. You have made a very realistic film about real people. This is one of the most difficult things to do in cinema. I congratulate you."
— Jonas Mekas about Chop Off
"Her cinema is marked by a lush sensuality, a concern for light, play, and an artfully woven soundtrack."
— Barbara Hammer
