'Knackered', Beta SP Color, 55 minutes: Anthology Film Archives, 10/01; Molnbo Film Festival 2/02

Ned Ambler, director of "Rock Star" (’96) and "Hair Burners" (2000), turns his comedic genius to the exploits of a fallen UK rock superstar and his oversexed transsexual girlfriend, and brings us a new classic satire of the lowest common denominator. Starring Jonny Cragg (of the band Space Hog) and Danna Bradley (alumni of the Howard Stern Show). With Theo (of the band Lunachicks), Candice Cayne, Sophia Lamar, Amanda Lepore, and rapper Princess Superstar. "Knackered" unleashes its inappropriate and inebriated lunacy onto an unsuspecting modern society.

In a zero-star hotel on Manhattan’s Bowery, the legendary rock + roll couple decide to seek revenge on all those they feel did them wrong – gossip columnists, paparazzi photographers, publicists, etc. But these two are such bumbling idiots that everywhere they go gets trashed, everything they touch gets broken, and everything that can go wrong does. More ‘Laurel + Hardy’ than ‘Sid + Nancy’, this rock + roll slapstick is an original comic book-styled gem.

Written, Directed, Produced, and Edited by NED AMBLER
