Helter Skelter Saturday, July 13, 9:30 PM (127 min.) As beloved by her fans as she is despised by those she works with, model and superstar Lilico (portrayed by the stunning Erika Sawajiri) perfectly embodies the glamour, vanity, and excess which comprise the fashion world. But when her insane amount of plastic surgery begins catching up to her, Lilico must act desperately to keep it all together, an effort easier said than done when the only thing deteriorating faster than her mind is her million-dollar face. A pitch black satire painted with primary colors, Helter Skelter marks the welcome return of fashion photographer and film director Mika Ninagawa. Despite a six year absence from filmmaking following Sakuran, her 2006 feature film debut, Ninagawa effortlessly sidesteps the snares of the sophomore slump, delivering a film as decadent and beautiful as its star. We are thrilled to present this gorgeous film in gorgeous 35mm.
