The Misandrists | Premieres in U.S. theaters Friday, May 25
The time feels right for a Bruce La Bruce statement. The textbook definition of an independent filmmaker, La Bruce nearly flirted with the mainstream a decade ago with Otto; or, Up With Dead People before entering a transitional period where he dared to tone down his approach for a hot second. With The Misandrists, however, it seems the underground legend is back in visual-assault mode with a story about female liberation that relentlessly campaigns for our attention. — Arno
