Description
Shameless raises the curtain on the 70s Sexual Revolution with filmmaker Anna Billers exquisite tapestry reimagining the titillation of that era. Defying the preconceptions of so\-called skin flicks, VIVA is underpinned by bold and cheeky irony, yet the dead\-pan tone never passes any moral\-judgement. From Cult female director, Anna Biller (The Love Witch). Barbi, played by Anna, is a bored Los Angeles housewife who yearns for a life beyond suburban ennui. After a quarrel with her husband, she reinvents herself as Viva, and dives into an odyssey of sexual liberation \- encountering swingers clubs, brothels, psychedelic hippy communes \- climaxing in a spectacular drug\-fuelled orgy..! This world\-1st release on Blu\-ray, made with HD materials provided by the director herself, finally does justice to this exquisite tableau filled with astonishing attention to details and eye\-popping production design inspired by period Playboy magazines. Crackling with joyous parody, this striking tour\-de\-force becomes an art\-form per se. And its sexy too!
