Based on Carlo Vergara’s beloved comic-book parody of the iconic superheroine Darna, and directed by Avid Liongoren, Zsazsa Zaturnnah is a delicious camp blend of comedy, action, and queer self-discovery.
And in a particularly fitting touch, the Fantasia screening was attended by Filipino drag performer Zsa Zsa herself.
If a queer superhero origin story wasn’t already enough, the village soon comes under attack from mutant animals, zombies, and alien invaders led by the magnificently named Queen Feminah Suarestellar Baroux.
Wildly funny and unabashedly queer, Zsazsa Zaturnnah embraces its absurdity while never losing sight of its message about self-worth and self-love.
