Just a bump to remind everyone that this Saturday (Feb 23), we'll be featuring the two faces of Perdita Durango.
I have a German DVD of Alex de la Iglesia's
Perdita Durango, which is the only anamorphic widescreen version of the uncut movie (the American version is edited and isn't even anamorphic). The film stars Rosie Perez as the title character alongside Javier Bardem as Romeo, her psychotic lover.
We'll start watching it at about 7pm.
At 9:30, we'll watch David Lynch's
Wild At Heart. While this movie follows a different pair of star-crossed lovers (Sailor and Lula, as played by Nic Cage and Laura Dern, respectively), it also features an appearance by Perdita Durango, here played by Isabella Rossellini.
Both of these movies contain pretty intense sex and violence, so if either of those makes you squeamish, this might not be the double feature for you.
Show up around 6ish. There will (as always) be fun video surprises, as well as interesting beverages. See you there!
