Cecil B. Demented (18)
Dir. John Waters USA 2000 87mins
35mm transferred to digital video | In English
Vowing to punish the crass sins of commercial cinema, fuelled by revolutionary zeal and self-imposed sexual frustration, Cecil B. Demented (Stephen Dorff) and his guerrilla production crew kidnap a Hollywood movie goddess and force her to star in their radical underground movie. Invading the streets of Baltimore, they shoot their no-budget epic starring their hostage Honey Whitlock (Melanie Griffith). Nothing is going to stand in Cecil’s way, no matter what…
Baltic Cinema’s Selected strand shows films selected by Baltic’s artists and partners, and special presentations. Cecil B Demented has been selected by Kuba Ryniewicz, currently exhibiting in Close to Home, as part of a season of films. Kuba Ryniewicz joins us to introduce the film and open the season, which continues into October.
