American independent film icon Abel Ferrara’s (Bad Lieutenant, King of New York) 1981 revenge thriller classic Ms. 45 follows a mute garment-district seamstress–played by the late model/actress/musician/screenwriter Zoë Lund–who after falling victim to multiple unspeakable assaults, ignites her one-woman homicidal rampage against NewYork City’s entire male population. Combining the rabid angst of 1976’s Death Wish and Roman Polanski’s surreal, post-traumatic Repulsion, Ms. 45 rages from the cult underground over 30 years later to reclaim its title as perhaps the most shocking, complex and empowering revenge film of the 1980s arrives fully restored and presented for the first time ever in HD.
