Proud trans lesbian Métis boomer C. 1983. Written and directed by Cecilia Condit. (PG)
Possibly in Michigan is an operatic fairy tale of cannibalism, desire and dread in Middle America, a densely collaged narrative in which Beauty meets the Beast in the surreal landscape of shopping-mall suburbia. Two women with a penchant for "violence and perfume" take revenge on their animal-masked male persecutor. In this contemporary rendering of gothic enchantment, victim becomes aggressor and the familiar becomes the fantastic. Condit reworks popular narrative conventions using black humor, sing-song dialogue, and ironically gruesome images. Constructing a comically grim fairy tale of dreamlike pursuit and sexual violence, she inverts traditional Freudian metaphors to impart a subversive voice to her transgressive heroines: "I bite at the hand that feeds me." Possibly in Michigan is a classic tale of psychosexual horror, retold as an irreverent fantasy of the other.

@Schizo please review and rate. This masterpiece was made possible because of a generous grant from the Ohio Board of the Arts.
Enjoy.

There's no other place I'd rather be horribly murdered than in the Midwest.

Murdered, eating and your remains thrown into the trash. That's about as much fun as you'll ever have in Michigan tbh.
