gogirlproductions.com.au A tall girl with a tall story, 31 year old Jabe Babe measures six foot two inches (188cm), works as a dominatrix and has a life threatening genetic condition called Marfan Syndrome. This 52 minute hybrid documentary, merging fiction and non-fiction forms, inhabits the heightened ‘technicolor’ world of the tall woman, the outsider, to provoke questions about society’s desire for sexual, visual, and genetic conformity. Blisteringly inventive and visually out-there, the latest film from acclaimed Sydney film-maker Janet Merewether is nothing if not genre-shattering.The film offers a stimulating examination of illness, the aberrant body and social conformity from a colourfully personal perspective.
