KAMIKAZE HEARTS RESTORED AND IN SAN FRANCISCO!
Rated NR • Length 77 min • Year 1986
SAN FRANCISCO! 5/31 at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. See the feature + in-person conversation with writer/director Juliet Bashore.
Save your seat for an exclusive screening of the feature followed by a live Q&A with writer/director Juliet Bashore and performer Sharon Mitchell, moderated by Annie M. Sprinkle and Beth Stephens.
Alternately distressing, instructive, contestable, and fascinating, Juliet Bashore’s quasi-documentary plunge into the 1980s porn industry takes an unsparing look at issues of misogyny, drug abuse, and exploitation via the story of two women—the naive newcomer Tigr (Chelsea Manchester) and her partner, the magnetic, imperious porn veteran Sharon Mitchell — caught in a toxic romance. By turns mesmerizing and unsettling, Kamikaze Hearts is both a fascinating record of pre-gentrification San Francisco’s X-rated underground and an intense, searing love story. The film offers a disturbing glimpse of the modification of bodies, feelings, and lives.
ULTRA FLESH is excited for the restoration and future Blu-ray release of this important film. For more info: CLICK HERE
