The Bitches is a short film in the same vein as most of Richard Kern's work. It wants to shock you as much as possible in the shortest amount of time possible. I think this film has merit and I also think that there is some symbolism in it. The turn-around at the end can be a metaphorical reversal on typical roles for sure. The ending does not go where you think it will, unless you are an avid Kern fan and know his other work. That is all i will say on the end. ;).
The music is excellent, I have to agree with the other reviewer on that point. It adds a rather interesting and sublime counter-point to what is on screen and makes the rawness of the film go down a little easier (pun not intended, well maybe a little intended).
All in all a quick and dirty piece to shock the "Norms" out of their state of indifference. Worth the watch at least once and possibly one of the best Kern films to start with if you are new to his work.
