Taste Her Fruit Bless the Whore
Directed by Diana Mulan Zhu

The film is a queer sex positive retelling of the mythological trope where women are punished for transgressive gluttony of eating forbidden fruit. Persephone, Chang’e, Eve and many others in both Western and Eastern myths have been cursed for overindulgence and sensual excess. In this version, our maiden discovers a treasure trove of fruit and orgiastically gorges on the apples, melons, figs and raspberries in a sinful, dizzying frenzied feast. Sated and unpunished, unlike the others before her, she rewrites the narrative into a queer futurity of renewal, refusal and erotic subversion.
