Programmed and Presented by The Front Row and Olivia Hunter Willke
An offbeat highlight in the fascinating career of Fassbinder collaborator/exploitation auteur Ulli Lommel, OLIVIA finds a distinctive blend of slasher, erotic thriller, and straightforward sleaze, seasoned with touches of semi-surrealism. As a child, Olivia (Suzanna Love) witnessed the murder of her streetwalking mother at the hands of an angry john. As an adult, her mother’s ghost demands Olivia avenge her death by seducing and slaying men! While disposing of a body near the London Bridge, Olivia meets a friendly American who aims to dismantle and move the bridge to Arizona—setting off a series of increasingly strange events, and a lot more bloodshed.
