Stylized, black and white biography of Frances Farmer by author Lynne Tillman and Sheila McLauglin.

Not to be confused with Luc Besson's film of the same title from the same year. Documentarian Andrew Horn's second narrative feature.

The Offenders is a raucous punk satire of the teenager-leaves-home genre. As in the detached and aloof manner of Andy Warhol's underground films, it tells an amusingly deadpan story centred on the kidnapping of a young woman named Laura and her abusive, controlling father. An out-of-control gang of punk hoodlums flesh out the cast.

A collaborative faux documentary by then roommates Cara Perlman and Jane Sherry, tracing Jane’s activities as a topless dancer in a New York City nightclub–where she was in fact working at the time.
