Special Screenings

The Devil's Cleavage

George Kuchar's 1973 cult classic: a delightfully anarchic tribute to the 1940s and 1950s Hollywood melodrama.

As a companion piece to the documentary on the Kuchar Brothers It Came from Kuchar, the LLGFF presents a special late-night screening of George Kuchar’s celebrated cult classic, The Devil’s Cleavage. An influence to filmmakers such as John Waters and Guy Maddin – as well as amateurs everywhere – The Devil’s Cleavage is Kuchar’s delightfully anarchic, hilarious, and low-budget feature tribute to his favorite commercial genre, the 1940s and 1950s Hollywood melodrama. Mocking a vast array of cinematic references, the master of camp excess takes on the weepie! Kuchar’s eccentric collection of friends and film misfits star in the film, including the late gay filmmaker (and Kuchar's Thundercrack! collaborator) Curt McDowell as Frank. Unavailable on DVD and rarely screened in cinemas, this is a London event not to be missed!
