Virtue

The film follows a woman grappling with her husband's death, depicted through a graphic scene of auto-erotic asphyxiation. In her quest to cope, she seeks out a virtual-reality replacement known as a ‘man chip'. This leads her into a subculture of tech addicts and the dubious world of ‘chip pushers'.

Directed in the late 90s, 'Virtue' stands out for its unique combination of humor and dark themes. The narrative explores the intersection of technology and personal loss, set against a backdrop that challenges societal norms. With performances by Connie Champagne and Jello Biafra, the film presents a distinct vision that reflects the era's fascination with virtual realities and their consequences.
