'Viva' was the first full length feature by Anna Biller, whose 'Love Witch' is a similar high-camp 1960s sexploitation parody. Biller takes the lead role in 'Viva', giving a suitably mannered performance, complete with a haughty scowl and a wardrobe full of gaudy costumes.
It's a fun film which supposedly carries a feminist message, though it would have just as much impact if edited down to a couple of comic sketches.
Biller apparently drew her inspiration from the pages of old Playboy magazines, and she is very good at conveying that garish, plastic world, with all its shiny sexism and slightly sinister hyper-reality.
