Desperate Teenage Lovedolls & Lovedolls Superstar
-
£30.00
Made on a micro-budget and cast with members of the Los Angeles punk scene (Redd Kross, Black Flag etc.), shot guerrilla-style on the streets of Hollywood and Santa Monica and Venice. This was a true Do-It-Yourself effort, made for the ragged fellow travelers on the scene at the time. It was also a testimony to inventiveness- made by disaffected kids without much resource, raised on junk food and trash television. The rags to riches story is one of classic Hollywood lore with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Produced for paltry $250.00, the film inspired a sequel with a budget 40 times that amount, made possible by Desperate Teenage Lovedolls success.
Lovedolls Superstar was an even more ambitious project with more expansive, if not completely out-there story telling. The parodies were even more pointed, confronting pop and rock culture of the time. No one was spared; from "Brews Springstien" to Billy Jack, from feminism to cult behavior, and to punk rock itself. They were unafraid to poke fun at themselves!
The Lovedolls films offer an antithesis to the squeaky clean, conservative 1980's America. They display just how far you can go with very little. David Markey would go on to helm many film projects, notably documenting the Sonic Youth / Nirvana tour in 1991 The Year Punk Broke.
