The Dialectic of the Remake

In this remake of the highly controversial Deliverance (1972), by John Boorman, Jennifer Montgomery turns all the film’s actors into women. In this version, Montgomery, Peggy Ahwesh, Jacqueline Goss, Sue Friedrich and other art-house filmmakers take the roles of Burt Reynolds, John Voigt and others. While following the screenplay, the performers introduce their own subjectivity and desires.
