Plutonium Blonde
Sandra Lahire
As penetrating as X-rays and as colourful as fireworks: Sandra Lahire’s film about female workers at a nuclear plant in the 1980s glows as though the celluloid itself were radioactively contaminated. Like her two subsequent films, Uranium Hex (1987) and Serpent River (1989), her work examines the ambivalence of the female body as victim and perpetrator within a toxic chemical industry and patriarchal capitalism.
