MADAME WANG’S A Paul Morrissey Retrospective

Description

A KGB agent comes to California to prepare for a Russian takeover of the U.S. After losing his papers, he connects with a band of homeless, overweight, and over-the-hill transvestites and becomes a punker in a Chinese restaurant owned by an elderly transsexual. “A convincingly realistic portrait of lost souls and the dreams they strive for. .. very ironical and extremely funny.”-Paul Gordon, Vista.
