About this deal

Jennifer Blowdryer is seen early in the ‘Kamikaze Hearts’ talking about how she entered the adult film business when she was underage.

Their lives and work are followed as they film a pornographic parody of Bizet’s opera Carmen in San Francisco, with both women openly discussing their hopes, desires and ambitions, as well as their feelings for each other. If you thought that Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights offered a true view of the adult scene, then you ain’t seen nothing yet…

Her film Kamikaze Hearts was shot in 1983 and released in 1986. It was based on the lives of two women lovers, Sharon Mitchell and Tigr Mennett, working in the pornography industry in San Francisco’s Golden Age. Bashore met Mennett while working as a crew member on a pornographic film. [4] [5] Jonathan Rosenbaum called the film "alternately distressing, instructive, contestable, and fascinating". [6] Juliet Bashore’s ‘Kamikaze Hearts’ is a startling potent and continuously riveting film with no taboos left to break” – The Village Voice

Bashore faultlessly takes us into a world so often and easily scorned and into a relationship as passionate as it is skittish. She then wisely leaves it to us to sort out for ourselves what is true and what is fiction and how pornography affects those who make it, especially women. The documentary follows a lesbian couple who work in the porn industry – an experienced porn star, Sharon “Mitch” Mitchell, and her lover, Tigr. They love each other so much, to the point where Mitch is moving to San Francisco so that she can be closer to her. Their relationship is the heart and soul of Kamikaze Hearts. As the documentary slowly goes through its short eighty-seven-minute runtime, we get to know the two better, both their good and bad aspects. In addition, we see how their bond develops through countless stories and conversations, as well as their chemistry through the different sets. Their romance is, in a way, caring and destructive for separate reasons. The affectionate aspect relates to the fact that they actually love one another, and you see it in the various interactions off the camera. However, once the spotlight is on Mitch, she can’t help herself; she’s an exhibitionist – she always wants the attention drawn to herself. Tigr, on the other hand, is flakier and more restrained; she doesn’t like to express herself one hundred percent but does share some complications and issues regarding her partner. Jon Martin speaks for just under four minutes, side by side with Mitchell, about just doing the work, not needing a script, memories of shooting his first scene in the movie and being uncomfortable with the violence in it, how he wound up in the movie to begin with, and whole a lot of the people they collaborated with who have passed on and, finally, how Sharon Mitchell doesn't get enough credit for her work in the industry. In ‘Kamikaze Hearts’, George Csicsery played the role of ‘Duke’ – the director of the porn movie being shot over the course of the film.
