synopsis
In this deliberately over-the-top short comedy from writer and director Sun Koh, Jen (Serene Chen) is a young woman who is about to enter law school and imagines she has a great future ahead of her. However, Jen has also discovered she's pregnant, and her condition is becoming quite obvious. Despite this, Jen has convinced herself she can keep her imminent motherhood a secret, and she isn't above resorting to murder if it will silence folks who've figured out that she's with child. Reportedly inspired by Koh viewing an ineptly censored video of Claire Denis' Nenette et Boni that was discovered in a lending library in Singapore, Dirty Bitch was an official selection at the 2009 Rotterdam International Film Festival.
