Group Marriage (Rothman, 1972): Barbican Cinema, 6.30pm
This film is part of the Stephanie Rothman season at the Barbican. Details here.Chicago Reader review:
High comedy and progressive sexual politics in an exploitation film—you
can only imagine the puzzled expressions on the faces of the drive-in
moviegoers of America when they encountered this little gem by Stephanie
Rothman back in 1972. Three men and three women attempt to set up a
communal relationship in a Los Angeles suburb as the neighbors look on
with shock and envy. Whenever the situation threatens to drift into
Aquarian platitudes, Rothman rescues it with a deft application of
gentle wit and affectionate eroticism.
