An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn
Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour, VancouverThe depraved maniac behind The Greasy Strangler returns with this obsidian-black, unrelentingly absurd romantic comedy. Discontent with domesticity, Lulu (Aubrey Plaza) falls in with an inept gun for hire (Jemaine Clement) and schemes to reunite with a mysterious man from her past (Craig Robinson). As these grotesques slowly reveal their humanity, Jim Hosking confirms that he's one of outsider cinema's most daring and distinct voices since John Waters steamrolled delicate sensibilities back in his heyday.
