“A perfect movie.”
—John Waters
“A pile-up of baroque detail.”
—Time Out
A massive favorite of John Waters who said, “I show this movie on first dates. If they don’t like it, I can never go out with them again.” That should give you an idea of what to expect from this Tennessee Williams adaptation starring the absurdly bejeweled and exquisitely-gowned Elizabeth Taylor as a woman who is sure that mortality is around the corner and Richard Burton as someone who may very possibly be the Angel of Death in human form. It all unfolds in Liz’s heavily locked-down compound overlooking the sea. Crazed. In IB-Technicolor 35mm.
