It is February, which means it is time for the February edition of Cine Cult. This Tuesday the 21st at 7.30pm we will be screening Viva (2007) a film by Anna Biller. Viva follows the sexual awakening of Barbi, a 1970s housewife who thought she and her loving husband Rick were the perfect couple- until the sexual revolution happened. Now Barbi, along with her neighbour Sheila, is questioning her role as a woman and as a wife, experiencing bondage parties, swingers’ gatherings, lesbianism, and much more.
Biller’s owed to the sexploitation films of the 1960s and 1970s is truly amazing and c complete homage to the genre. The situations, characters, clothing, dialogue and overall detail is completely realistic.
The screening is, of course, at the 303 Bar (303 High St. Northcote, http://www.303.net.au/) and starts at 7.30pm, though feel free to get there earlier for drinky-drinks and to grab a comfortable couch.
More can be found at the Cine Cult (http://cinecult303.blogspot.com.au/) or on Facebook under CineCult303.
Cine Cult is a once a month, not for profit, film night. We ask for a gold coin donation so that we may be able to source something even more amazing, crazy, weird, gross, crass, hilarious and enjoyable the following month.
Hope to see you there!
