Storyline
Lizzie Borden, America's most famous "self-made orphan," was the prim lady accused of axing her parents to death in 1892. A media star from the start, Lizzie continues to draw an audience! A sardonic, entertaining, and original film that features 28 different "Bordenites" - from a forensic scientist to a rock star - including 3 people who have themselves adopted the name "Lizzie Borden." A lively retelling of the ever-popular mystery of Lizzie Borden, this film also raises deeper issues relating to history, feminism, and popular culture. Written by

Add Synopsis
The spare and formalized style of this film makes it a kind of poem, and the people interviewed show, yet again, that truth is stranger (and funnier, and more touching) than fiction. The general public, filmies, and cultural-studies people will all find something to enjoy.
