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.

Absolutely Fantastic
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
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.
