Linda Stirling Unmasked: The Black Whip




AGORA
: Dragged from her chariot by a mob of fanatical vigilante Christian monks, the revered astronomer was stripped naked, skinned to her bones with sharp oyster shells, stoned and burned alive as possibly the first executed witch in history. A kind of purge that was apparently big business back then.

Commentary
Cecillia Miniucchi is a female director who isn't just good or creative or just anything. She is brilliant and her film, Expired, left me speechless.

This film is so powerful, so real, so sensitive to the ways of a modern woman who has to deal with the modern man for whom the internet offers such rich sexual gratification that the feel of a real woman's body is almost irrelevant.

Expired answers so many questions about what it means to be a woman, what personality to effect when dealing with a man who is bigger,stronger,stranger than herself.

The acting is superb, the story compelling, the directing well beyond anything I have seen this year.. Cecilia Miniucchi is a giant in a world with many a tall man competing for a place in the fame and fortune that films done well can earn.

Bravo,

A must see film.
