Poison Film Screening
Come and see Todd Haynes' classic debut feature!
On Saturday, October 17th, Signal Otter Films comes to Bottom Feeder Books to bring you this queer classic!
Doors open at 6:30 PM with the screening to start at 7 PM. Snacks and drinks provided. Please mask when not eating or drinking, and stay home if you're sick. Limited pay-what-you-can tickets at the door.
Inspired by the writings of Jean Genet, Poison deftly interweaves a trio of transgressive tales—“Hero,” “Horror” and “Homo”—that build toward a devastating climax. “Hero,” shot in mock TV-documentary style, tells a bizarre story of suburban patricide and a miraculous flight from justice; “Horror,” filmed like a delirious ’50s B-movie melodrama, is a gothic tale of a mad sex experiment which unleashes a disfiguring plague; while “Homo” explores the obsessive sexual relationship between two prison inmates.
