  Shameless raises the curtain on the 70's Sexual Revolution with filmmaker Anna Biller's exquisite tapestry reimagining the titillation of that era. Defying the preconceptions of so-called skin flicks, VIVA is underpinned by bold and cheeky irony, yet the dead-pan tone never passes any moral-judgement. From Cult female director, Anna Biller (The Love Witch). Barbi, played by Anna, is a bored Los Angeles housewife who yearns for a life beyond suburban ennui. After a quarrel with her husband, she reinvents herself as Viva, and dives into an odyssey of sexual liberation - encountering swingers' clubs, brothels, psychedelic hippy communes - climaxing in a spectacular drug-fuelled orgy..! This world-1st release on Blu-ray, made with HD materials provided by the director herself, finally does justice to this exquisite tableau filled with astonishing attention to details and eye-popping production design inspired by period Playboy magazines. Crackling with joyous parody, this striking tour-de-force becomes an art-form per se. And it's sexy too!

  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. According to the Los Angeles Times Biller's unique vision remains an endearing camp travesty musical while Indie flick bible Film Threat has concluded that Anna Biller creates worlds dripping with style that pull viewers into a Technicolor dreamland that serve as a feast for the eyes. Viva combines Playboy chic with postmodern commentary feminism with freak-out retro sexual spectacle. Welcome to the vivacious and visually stylised world of Viva!
