Join us for the colorful stylish film that celebrates the counterculture. Some topics to explore post-screening include the following: the value of camp, satire, counterculture, lesbian and Gay depictions 1 year post stonewall, visual language and style, and other perspectives, especially regarding camp.
A hip and happenin’all-girl rock group heads to Los Angeles to claim lead singerKelly’s inheritance and make it (and make it) in LA. They immediately fall underthe spell of rock’n’roll Svengali and ‘Teen Tycoon’ of rock Ronnie ‘Z-Man’ Barzell and of other rapacious Hollywood party types, such as lustful porno actressAshley St Ives, ravenous lesbian Roxanne, and shady lawyer Porter Hall. Soon thegirls fall into a morass of drugs and deceit as their recording success soars. It takes several tragedies to make them stop and think… but is it too late?
