  • Crosstown Arthouse presents The Muthers

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents Cirio Santiago's The Muthers at Crosstown Theater. 1976/93 minutes/Rated R

    “Sleaze ahoy! Directed by heroic smut merchant Cirio Santiago (TNT Jackson, Vampire Hookers) and shot on-the-cheap in the Philippines, The Muthers is like stepping into one of Martin Denny's exotica LPs while it plays in Jess Franco's living room. Filled with karate chops and epic psychedelic-funk jams, this is the story of two pirates (Jeanne Bell and Rosanne Katon) who rob and loot on the China Seas, get sent to a women's prison presided over by a sadistic warden, then revolt and turn the sky black with the smoke from their machine guns. In other words, this is the only revolutionary-pirate-women-in-prison movie that you'll ever need. Restored from the original negative for maximum savagery!” — American Genre Film Archive

Narrated by Zoo York co-founder Eli Gesner, with an original score by legendary hip-hop producer Large Professor (Nas, A Tribe Called Quest), All the Streets Are Silent brings to life the magic of the time period and the convergence that created a style and visual language with an outsized cultural effect.
