1989 坎城影展短片金棕櫚獎提名 | 1989 雪梨影展觀眾票選最佳短片

女人從廚房水槽的排水孔，拉出一撮頭髮。再使勁一拉，源源不絕冒出的濕漉頭髮，成就一段闇黑離奇的愛情怪談⋯⋯

艾莉森．馬克萊之首部成名作。全片密佈濃烈的慾望與恐懼，在深不見底之處交錯纏繞著刻骨想望，一面攪動著恐怖驚悚類型的性別呈現，又以超現實的手法重新部署了女性與家屋／廚房之間的連結。

A woman who pulls at a strand of hair that seems to be caught in her sink, only to discover that it’s actually linked to the body of a grotesque creature. From the bowels of the kitchen sink comes a dark and tender love. A nightmare comes true. Starring a young Theresa HEALEY, this jarringly grotesque film presents the monochrome mixture of horror and romance, while addresses issues of gender politics and feminist praxis.
