FRIDAY
FILM
Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Bingo with Violet Hex
Adapted from a hit ’98 glam rock musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch follows a genderqueer German singer who lands in the rural Midwest after a botched sex reassignment surgery. John Cameron Mitchell wrote, directed, and starred as Hedwig in the punky, ingenious masterwork of queer cinema. Haven’t seen it? This screening is one perfect way to celebrate Pride Month—even Roger Ebert admitted that it was “strange how the movie seems to be loud, flashy and superficial, yet gives a deeper dimension to its characters.” Tomorrow Theater will up the ante in everyone’s favorite way: with a game of bingo hosted by cult cinema starlet Violet Hex. Don’t forget your daubers. LINDSAY COSTELLO
