Office Killer & I'll Take You There (with Giselle Bonilla)

For our final Vulgar Female Gaze installment, we're looking back at a pair of underseen 90s dark comedies. First up, it's photographer Cindy Sherman's first and only foray into directing with the 1997 horror comedy "Office Killer" starring Carol Kane, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Molly Ringwald. After that, we're switching gears for the late, great Adrienne Shelly's sophomore feature, "I'll Take You There" starring Ally Sheedy.
Filmmaker Giselle Bonilla joins us to discuss her surprising connection to Adrienne Shelly, the tonal whiplash of Shelly's low budget take on the romcom and the indie filmmaking climate of the 90s versus today. Why did critics hate the clear and obvious MVP of "Office Killer" so much? Why did Cindy Sherman never return to filmmaking? Does "I'll Take You There" work better with Parker Posey and John Cusack? We're talking all that and more in our farewell to the Vulgar Female Gaze.
