      Disturbing & Realistic

      If you haven't seen a Richard Kern short film then it's time to get disturbed! Black and white, low budget filming techniques help emphasize the ugliness of the graphic rape scene. It's not graphic in an erotic porn film manner -more like ugh I don't think I should be watching this.

      Unmusical

      Around the time this was made, I went to a "modern" concert. The "musicians" merely beat some members of the audience with their instruments. There was noise, there were instruments and people calling themselves musicians. Was it music?

      Concept art has to be clever and profound, or possibly overwhelming or enchantingly strange. Just giving the audience the finger shouldn't be enough. This is a film only accidentally, a camera only happened to be the handy instrument.

      Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

      A Simple Lydia... With Simple Desires!

      This film is trashy, but I love it! Enough said!

      If you like "hardcore" crassness... equipped with Lydia Lunch getting gunf***ed... this is a great 35 minutes of poop! If you dont want to be offended, keep watching the Jerry Springer show! HAH!

      This Film Really Should Have Been Titled 'Fisted'

      Richard Kern (or R.Kern as he is better known as)has never made it easy for audiences to warm up to his films. He refers his films as "cinema of the transgressive". The plot concerns punk singer/performance artist, Lydia Lunch (who also co-wrote the screenplay)as a phone sex woman,who's encounter with one of her customers,ends up in a day that's one bum trip after another. What follows is a truly ugly exercise in explicit sex,murder,near murder,rape,statutory rape,a endless supply of raunchy language,etc. The obvious point of this film is what monsters some men could be (and are). No rating,but is saddled with a self contained 'X' rating on the DVD case (as well as on the old VHS video box),as it possibly couldn't earn less than an NC-17,if rated by the MPAA.

      Pretty disturbing Richard Kern's short.

      'The Cinema of Transgression' was a small underground film scene in New York.Richard Kern along with Nick Zedd were the most prominent and widely known directors from that scene."Fingered" is possibly Richard Kern's most shocking and unsettling short film.It features punk rock queen Lydia Lunch as the phone sex operator.After a violent and explicit sexual encounter with one of her phone sex clients,the two set out on a rampage of murder,brutality and attempted rape leaving the viewer aroused and disgusted."Fingered" is mildly shocking by today's standards,but having seen such fare like "August Underground's Mordum","Scrapbook" or "Niku Daruma" I wasn't particularly offended.Still if you like them nasty and violent you won't be disappointed.7 out of 10.
