"The Story of Three Consenting Adults, in the Privacy of Their Own Home...."

Posted by on Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 1:59 PM

That is the quietly menacing tagline for The Killing of Sister George, the trashy lesbian melodrama of 1968 that's grown into a beloved, over-the-top camp classic.

Tonight at the Northwest Film Forum, Three Dollar Bill Cinema hosts a one-night-only screening of Sister George, as part of their "God Save the Queens" film series. If you like lesbians, ludicrously overdone psychodrama, and/or perversely comforting reminders of How Far We've Come, go.

Movie starts at 7pm, full info here.

Rated X!!! Sorry, kiddies, you'll have to go elsewhere to satisfy your tragic-lesbian fix.

I think it's been rerated...it's pretty tame.

This movie would be good if it were about an hour shorter...it's way too long and sluggishly paced.
