With that being said‚ conflict plays a major role in

The shortest of Dickens’ novels‚ Hard Times‚ was also‚ until quite recently‚ the least regarded of them. The comedy is savagely and scornfully sardonic‚ to the virtual exclusion of the humour - that delighted apprehension of and rejoicing in idiosyncrasy and absurdity for their own sakes‚ which often cuts right across moral considerations and which we normally take for granted in Dickens.

Dyke Hard is a celebratory pastiche of multiple B-movies and genre films‚ exploiting their tropes and clichés in a wild LGBT party of a film. Inspired in part by the work of John Waters‚ it gives a nod to a dynamic and creative underground of the pre-digital past – a time when political incorrectness and trash rhymed with transgression and carried real meaning and clout. Though "trash as trash can" is the film’s credo‚ these concepts have lost most of their impact today; their milder forms have been
