Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers

In this frenzied film, which she shot just after Morissey/Warhol's Trash, Holly Woodlawn plays a girl from Kansas who wants to become famous in New York... but first she has to find a roommate. She goes through one wild and unlikely experience after another: she fights with wrestlers, gets up against devious lesbians and meets the crème de la crème of the New York underground. Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers is the first film to feature a trans actress and is a brilliant comic performance by Holly Woodlawn, a superstar of Andy Warhol's Factory. A film that should have been a cult hit! Now rediscovered and restored, this film confirms that trans people have always had their place on the screen.
