It follows three young female rockers going Hollywood in hell-bent sixties style under the spell of a flamboyant producer, whose decadent bashes showcase Meyer's trademark libidinal exuberance. Transgressive and outrageous, this big-studio version of a debaucherous midnight movie is an addictively entertaining romp from one of the movies' great outsider artists.
DVD, NTSC region 1, widescreen (2.35:1) presentation; Dolby Digital monaural.
