Die Tödliche Doris (The Deadly Doris): Doris is a mythological, Duchampian porno-queen for the post-war generation, whose female members were so commonly branded in Germany with the name. Doris is also a group of artists consisting of Wolfgang Müller, Nikolaus Utermöhlen and usually one other person (Käthe Kruse or, at times, Tabea Blumenschein). Their activities include the promulgation of her official mythology, the publication of books, and live performances. Performances may include on a typical evening stories around a real campfire built on stage, rigorously controlled and highly dissonant music on electric and amplified instruments and last, but not least, films. Das Leben des Sid Vicious is among four or so films they have produced. (It) is, simply, one of the most compelling and creepy films I have ever seen. It brings to a definite end the credibility of the Brakhagean project of recovering childhood innocence through heroic individual male formal bravado on the sacred mountain above the lowlands of popular culture, home of the feature film.
