A event held at The Ill Repute on Thursday 27th November. The event starts at 20:00.
She was abused. She was broken. And then she got mad.
On Thursday 27th November, Be Kind Rewind Bristol returns to the basement at The Ill Repute for a raw, relentless classic of New York exploitation cinema: Abel Ferrara’s Ms. 45.
Thana is a mute seamstress living in the city that never sleeps until one day, her world shatters in an act of violence that transforms her into a silent angel of vengeance. Armed with a .45 and a cold, determined stare, she stalks the streets at night, turning fear back on those who prey on it.
Shot on the sleazy backstreets of early ’80s Manhattan, Ms. 45 is grimy, hypnotic, and fiercely feminist; a brutal urban fairy tale about power, trauma, and rage. Zoë Lund gives one of the most haunting performances in exploitation history, all poise and fury, her silence louder than any scream.
Stylish, shocking, and strangely beautiful, this is the revenge thriller that refuses to play nice — and once it gets under your skin, it stays there.

• Doors 7pm / Film 8pm sharp - no late entry, limited seating
• Free entry, no booking required
• Cocktails & drinks upstairs - bring one down with you
