Female Misbehavior (1992)
From feminist director and provocateur Monika Treut comes this eclectic collection of four short documentaries profiling unconventional women. One has Camille Paglia explaining her ways of thinking. One has Annie Sprinkle explaining her approach to performance art, which includes inviting audience members to view her cervix with a speculum. One interview investigates a professional woman's preoccupation with sadomasochism. The fourth documents the life adjustments of an F2M (female-to-male) sex change who looks like a dangerous biker, with slick black hair, a matching motorcycle jacket, and tattoos.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This DVD titled "Female Misbehavior" contains one feature film (80 minutes in length) and 4 short films (each about 10-20 minutes in length).The feature film is titled "Didn't Do It For Love". This 1993 celebrity-documentary chronicles the life and career of actress/businesswoman, Eva Norvind who (following her stint, in Mexico, as a 1960's screen-siren) went on to become one of NYC's most sought-after dominatrix in the 1980's.The 4 short films on this disc (which were all filmed between 1984-1992) focus in on "real-life" woman who are either - (1) Porn performance artists - (2) Bondage/fetish professionals - or - (3) Female-to-male transsexuals.All-in-all - I didn't much enjoy any of these films presented on this DVD. All directed by German film-maker, Monkia Treut - (For the most part) - I found them to be very grungy, sub-par and amateur productions all round.
