Viva Anna Biller

Fetish cinema, anyone? We finally caught up with Viva, a uncanny replication of the Radley Metzger soft-core pornography of the late sixties and early seventies. The flick is written and directed by Los Angeles-based performance artist Anna Biller (right), who also stars and designed the amazingly accurate sets and costumes. This gal must have spent every non-shoot day combing thrift shops. We're not sure what the intent is of these kind of appropriately low-budget, B-movie reconstructions (Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, anyone?), but we marvel at the drive and eye for detail of these wacky filmmakers.
