Female Perversions

Female Perversions

Directed by Susan Streitfeld • 1996 • United States, Germany
Starring Tilda Swinton, Amy Madigan, Karen Sillas

In her stunning American film debut, the singularly arresting, chameleonic Tilda Swinton stars as Eve Stephens, a ruthless, bisexual Los Angeles lawyer on the edge. As she struggles to balance her career ambitions, provocative sexual power games with both men and women, and a family crisis that threatens to derail everything, the increasingly unstable Eve is forced to confront her inner demons. Inspired by Louise J. Kaplan’s landmark psychology text “Female Perversions: The Temptations of Emma Bovary,” Susan Streitfeld’s debut feature is a bold, subversive, and unabashedly erotic examination of the myriad roles women must play in everyday life.
