Two suburban couples experiment with sex, drugs and bohemia in early 1970s Los Angeles. This homage to the poorly acted schlock of Russ Myers ascends to the level of art through it’s beautifully lurid, near-fetishistic set design and coy confidence.

Viva screens with the short: Three Examples of Myself as Queen

Viva  is part of the Adelaide Cinémathèque program: The Feminist Sexploitation of Anna Biller

The Feminist Sexploitation of Anna Biller Experience the luscious, handmade cinema of a true independent auteur who controls every frame of her films using the nostalgic textures of classic Hollywood to expose the raw realities of female power, trauma, and desire. Part feminist manifesto, part visual feast, this retrospective invites you into a world of glamour, witchcraft, and satirical bite that you will never forget.
