Lucille’s Ball
Sep 30, 2013
Lulu Keating – Dawson City, Yukon Territories – 83 min
This hallucinatory coming-of-age film is set in the rebellious, sexually liberated 1970s amd presents an offbeat combination of animation and live action. Writer/director Lulu Keating brings us the story of Lucille, a young musician raised in a Catholic family, as she begins exploring her sexuality. Determined to take advantage of the new freedom offered by the Pill, Lucille experiments with women and men, straight and gay, at home and abroad.
As her career as a musician advances, Lucille’s wild lifestyle and haunting past derail her. With the support of her gay roommate and her first female lover, she puts her ghosts to rest and comes into her own. One of the most visually unique films of the year, Lucille’s Ball is, well . . .a ball!
