synopsis

REMASTERED: David Markey's Desperate Teenage Lovedolls chronicles the rise and fall of the fictitious all girl band, the Lovedolls. "Kind of an all-girl Spinal Tap" said the Los Angeles Reader at the time of release. The positive critical response didn't stop there. "This is worthy of a Joan Crawford vehicle" chimed The Village Voice. Made on a micro-budget and cast with members of the Los Angeles punk scene (Redd Kross, Black Flag etc.), shot guerrilla-style on the streets of Hollywood and Santa Monica and Venice. This was a true Do-It-Yourself effort, made for the ragged fellow travelers on the scene at the time.
