2/27: THE DEVIL'S CLEAVAGE

Please note this screening has been rescheduled from tomorrow, the 20th, to next Monday the 27th. 

The Devil's Cleavage (1975) | 122 mins | 16mm


"Restless nurses! Lovesick sheriffs! Sexed-up Girl Scout leaders! Lonely motel managers! And other degenerates populate George Kuchar’s early ’70s mock-Hollywood soap opera, The Devil’s Cleavage." - Light Industry


Kuchar, who passed away in September 2011, became a legend with his lo-fi Super-8 and 16mm melodramas from the 1950s and ‘60s, influencing generations of artists such as Andy Warhol, John Waters, and Todd Solondz.

As a post-script to the "George Kuchar: HotSpell" screening at the Gene Siskel on the 23rd, the Experimental film society will be showing "The Devil's Cleavage" on 16mm on the 27th.

27 February 2012, 4-6 pm
@ School of the Art Institute of Chicago
MacLean Center, 112 S. Michigan Ave.,
Room 1307. Free and open to the public.
