Bette Gordon’s Variety follows Christine (Sandy McLeod), who takes up a job as a ticket-seller in a New York porn theatre, gradually forming a fascination with the films playing and the clientele visiting.
She decides to go on a date with Louie (Richard Davidson), one of the venue’s more suspect regulars, gradually coming to believe he’s involved with the mafia as she flies closer and closer to the flame.
What emerges is a story of obsession and female sexual awakening, backed by a small galaxy of American indie talent, many of whom emerged from the late '70s/early '80s New York No Wave scene that cross-pollinated across film, music, photography and art. Talent which includes; cinematographer Tom DiCillo, actor Luis Guzmán, music by John Lurie, and a small role for Nan Goldin (most recently seen in All the Beauty and the Bloodshed).
This is a new 2K restoration, overseen by director Bette Gordon.
