Butterfly Kiss (1995)

Set in North West England, a disturbed bisexual drifter (Amanda Plummer) seduces a lonely convenience store clerk (Saskia Reeves) and triggers a cross country odyssey of obsession, murder and madness. Directed by Michael Winterbottom (24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE). A film that is as insane as its batshit crazy protagonist, it's equal parts unnerving and exhilarating. Anchored by a fearless performance by Amanda Plummer as a serial killer looking for a woman who probably doesn't exist (we're never sure) who finds a soulmate in a simple (in both senses of the word) girl that she yanks out of her drab existence and corrupts her to the point of being her equal in their bloody road journey. It's a whacked out THELMA AND LOUISE without the empathy and feminist layer. The film doesn't have a point of view nor does it judge or make a case for its freaky homicidal heroines, it just puts them out there. With Des McAleer, Kathy Jamieson, Paul Brown and Emily Aston.
