The Demons of Dorothy

My French Films Festival selection available until February 14, VIP members only.

Dorothy is a film director, and a bit of a loser, who's having a ball writing her script. But a call from her producer kills her buzz: enough with the queer comedies, it's time to start making mainstream films. To avoid sinking to the deepest depths of despair, Dorothy seeks comfort in her favorite TV show, Romy the Vampire Slayer. Unfortunately, one night her own demons show up…

Alexis Langlois has directed a slapstick comedy with a radical mise-en-scène, which furiously hacks at the established order of film financing. A generous, obscene, and outrageous fable, in which Buffy, the Vampire Slayer meets the camp universe of John Waters, everything bathed in a hardcore aesthetic of silicone and big cars.
