First Times Presents: Anna Biller’s “Viva” - Best known for The Love Witch, Anna Biller’s directorial debut Viva proves her commitment to reimagining mid-century cinema and her sharp eye for visual storytelling were there from the start. A satirical spin on 1970s sexploitation, Viva follows Barbi, a bored trad housewife, as she breaks out of her mundane life for the wild world of swinging and sexual liberation. With meticulous attention to period-perfect detail, the film looks, sounds, and feels like it was plucked straight from the early ’70s — only revealing its hand when subverting and critiquing the genre’s deeply rooted misogyny.
