Music Documentary – 78 Minutes – English, Romani & Serbian/UK & Serbia 2019

Lydia Lunch – The War Is Never Over is the first career-spanning documentary retrospective of Lydia Lunch’s confrontational, acerbic and always electric artistry. As New York City’s preeminent No Wave icon from the late 70’s, Lunch has forged a lifetime of music and spoken word performance devoted to the utter right of any woman to indulge, seek pleasure, and to say “fuck you!” as loud as any man. In this time of endless attacks on women, this is a rallying cry to acknowledge the only thing that is going to bring us together – ART…as the universal salve to all of our traumas.

“Beth B’s documentary on the singer/provocateur/No Wave icon looks, sounds and feels like a Lydia Lunch song: raw, loud, unfiltered and unflinching Rolling Stone Magazine

Critic’s Pick  New York Times

“Always a provocateur, occasionally a chanteuse, frequently a nihilist, Lydia Lunch performs unapologetically with the instincts of a predator…Lunch’s life and times are in the amazing hands of director/editor/co-DP Beth B. – The Independent
