GIRL KING

Ileana Pietrobruno, Canada 2002, feature, 80 min, DVD, in English without subtitles

A gender-bending pirate fairy tale about a virgin Butch’s quest for the Queen’s stolen treasure. It all begins when the Queen is left by her lover, the King. The cad has even made off with her most precious stone, which means that she is no longer capable of attaining orgasm. The Queen has to wait for a virgin top butch to retrieve her purloined prize. When Butch finally arrives, the Queen entices her/him to carry out her master plan by promising the Butch the love of her life, Claudia, as a reward. And so Butch goes to sea under the command of Captain Candy, where she soon learns what it means to be a pirate: casting wicked grins at the ladies and knuckling down like a man. Before long, all the usual rules governing decent behaviour are tossed aside and erotic chaos ensues. More so when it transpires that there’s a sailor on board who could be Claudia’s spitting image . . .
