ANNA BILLER DOUBLE FEATURE!

VIVA
VIVA is a cult freak-out, retro 1970s spectacle about a bored housewife who gets sucked into the sexual revolution. Barbi becomes a Red Riding Hood in a sea of wolves, and quickly learns a lot more than she wanted to about the various scenes going on in the wild 70s, including nudist camps, the hippie milieu, orgies, bisexuality, sadism, drugs, and bohemia. Saturated with vibrant color and exquisitely detailed in its depiction of the period, VIVA looks like a lost film from the period, down to the campy and self-assured performances, the big lighting, the plethora of negligées, and the delirious assortment of Salvation Army ashtrays, lamps, fabrics, and bric-a-brac. Featuring naked dancers, alcoholic swingers, stylish sex scenes, a sea of polyester, Hammond organ jams, glitzy show numbers, white horses, blondes in the bathtub, gay hairdressers, and psychedelic animation, VIVA has it all!

THE LOVE WITCH

The Manhattan premiere of the 35mm print of THE LOVE WITCH!
Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her gothic Victorian apartment she makes spells and potions, and then picks up men and seduces them. Her spells work too well, however, and she ends up with a string of hapless victims. When she finally meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved will drive her to the brink of insanity and murder. With a visual style that pays tribute to Technicolor thrillers of the 1960s, THE LOVE WITCH explores female fantasy and the repercussions of pathological narcissism.

"I wanted to make a movie about a witch, because I think that every woman is made to feel like a witch by the men who dont understand her: that is, mysterious, dangerous, different, abnormal." - Anna Biller
