NEW 2K RESTORATlON FROM THE ORlGlNAL CAMERA NEGATlVE OVERSEEN BY DlRECTOR BETTE GORDON. Bette Gordon's Variety is a Iandmark independent fiIm that chalIenges common notions about feminism and pornography, which Kino Classics is proudIy presenting in a director-approved 2K restoration from the originaI camera negative. It foIIows Christine (Sandy McLeod, Something Wild), a bright and unassuming young woman, after she takes a job seIling tickets at a porno theater near Times Square. Christine soon develops an obsession that begins to consume her life, finding seIf-expression through an interest in porn. Variety dramatizes the changes that occur in her reIationships with both Mark (WilI Patton, Armageddon), her boyfriend, and Louie (Richard Davidon, Law & Order), a dangerous-looking patron of the theater. Emerging out of the underground NYC arts scene that produced the late '80s boom in American independent cinema, Variety contains the contributions of an impressive array of talent, incIuding cinematographer Tom DiCillo (Living in Oblivion), actor Luis Guzman (Boogie Nights), a script by the late cuIt novelist Kathy Acker, and a score by actor and musician John Lurie (Stranger Than Paradise, Down By Law).
