Cult, campy and carnal! "Viva" is the acclaimed new retro sexploitation epic created by Indie feminist director Anna Biller.

Meticulously photographed and vibrantly stylised, Biller presents a contemporary homage to the classic sixties sexploitation extravaganzas made famous by directors such as Russ Meyer, Doris Wishman and Radley Metzger. 'Viva' details the story of Barbie (played by Biller), a bored housewife whose search for sexual thrills leads to an odyssey of swinging sexual liaisons, orgies and kinky countercultural kicks. By revisiting 'classic' sexploitation through a cool, contemporary and cerebral feminist lens, Biller's film provides both a seductive sixties scenario as well as a self-reflexive and savvy commentary on the so-called sexual revolution of the psychedelic decade. 'Viva' combines Playboy chic with postmodern commentary, feminism with freak-out retro sexual spectacle. Welcome to the vivacious and visually stylised world of Viva!
