The vitals:
7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ Discovery Zone: DROWNING BY NUMBERS
One evening, Cissie Colpitts decides to drown her husband. With the help of her daughter, granddaughter, and the town coroner Madgett, they orchestrate a coverup and send their idyllic English countryside town into a tailspin. Join them all for a fun, sexy little time shaking up the suffocating institutions of marriage and manners and heterosexuality and idealized Anglo-Saxon tradwifery.
This under-appreciated piece of weird girl cinema is a great entry point for fans of Yorgos Lanthimos, Pedro Almodovar, or Wes Anderson to start exploring the works of original freak filmmaker Peter Greenaway. Drowning by Numbers combines dark comedy, beautifully-staged scenes, and eccentric games to expose the rot and perversion at the center of Margaret Thatcher’s UK.
