The 10th Victim
Location: Fools Foundation - 1025 19th St. Off of K St, between 19th and 20th, next to the back-end of Old Spaghetti Factory. 7:00 PM. Admission: $5.00.
This 1965 cult classic has inspired many films which followed, but more importantly, presaged the reality TV craze that currently permeates our culture.
In the 21st Century, those with violent urges are allowed to enroll in a game of legalized murder wherein contestants hunt one another until only one is left alive. Ursula Andress, in all her stunning 60's glamor and beauty, as Caroline Meredith is set against Marcello Mastrianno in what will be for Caroline, her 10th and final victim. Along with her sponsor, the Ming Tea Company, Caroline plots out the perfect kill in front of TV cameras for the benefit of the viewing public.
Rolling up romance, social satire and 60's Euro sex romp into one gorgeous pop culture retro cool stew with a soundtrack that Andy Warhol claimed to be one of his favorites, The 10th Victim is not to be missed. Oh, and did we mention Andress' S&M dance at the Club Masoch? That's worth the price of admission all on its own!
We are doing regular weekly film screenings with Fools Foundation on Fridays at 7 PM - most are $5 (unless otherwise noted in advance), and will have filmmakers out from time to time.
