ANITA: DANCES OF VICE
(ANITA: TÄNZE DES LASTERS)
dir. Rosa von Praunheim, 1987
89 minutes. Germany.
In German with English subtitles.
SATURDAY, JUNE 10 - MIDNIGHT
MONDAY, JUNE 26 - 7:30 PM
The true story of Anita Berber, the notorious bisexual who scandalized Weimar Germany with her own particular brand of nude cabaret before dying of tuberculosis at 29, is brought to life in the visions of an eccentric old woman living in present-day Berlin in this shimmering tribute to silent-era German cinema. Written specifically as a starring vehicle for Praunheim’s muse Lotti Huber, ANITA: DANCES OF VICE is the ultimate expression of the filmmaker’s 80s aesthetic and a clear precursor to New Queer Cinema classics like SWOON and POISON.
