City of Lost Souls (1983) - presented by Media Meltdown Movie Madhouse!
CITY OF LOST SOULS (1983)
Join us this Pride season for a screening of the outrageous cult musical CITY OF LOST SOULS (1983; German: Stadt Der Verlorenen Seelen). Directed by the late, great Rosa Von Praunheim, this gem stars legendary entertainer and entrepreneur Angie Stardust alongside punk royalty Jayne County and a cavalcade of queers and outsiders largely playing versions of themselves, eccentric American expats living in West Berlin. An inspiration for Hedwig and the Angry Inch, City of Lost Souls combines the camp glam musicality of a Rocky Horror with moments of slapstick comedy and surprising sincerity and tenderness. Come out to see transsexuals working in a burger joint, occult orgies, German spoke with a thick California accent, raps about androgyny, and disco erotic circus acts! All that and a special Pride preshow with the Media Meltdown squad. And you know what that means... be prepared to commit some gay crimes! See you this June in the City of Lost Souls!
