SUPERSTARLET A.D. PREMIERES AT CANNES TODAY
Critically acclaimed worldwide
festival favorite about an apocalypse that leaves only beautiful
lesbians alive
Cannes, May 23rd- Today at Cannes,
Troma Entertainment proudly presents Superstarlet A.D.,
the latest groundbreaking theatrical film from Underground Demigod
John Michael McCarthy (JMM). A wild romp filled with erotic action
and rock’n’roll, Superstarlet A.D. stands alongside Hedwig
& the Angry Inch and Moulin Rouge with echoes of
Vegas In Space. Critically acclaimed for the most inventive
use of color & black & white since Living in Oblivion
and Gods & Monsters, Superstarlet A.D. has
been a official selection at such notable film festivals as Sitges,
Chicago, & South By Southwest. Superstarlet A.D.
is fast becoming a Classic Cult Favorite!
Welcome to the end of the world! After
the apocalypse, in the lost city of Femphis, all men have de-evolved
into deadly Neanderthals, whereas womankind has gained a chromosome.
Women are physically beautiful, but wear only vintage undergarments,
as all other clothes have been destroyed in the disaster. All
gay men are dead, and there are no gay cavemen, so it will take
millions of years for the clothing industry to evolve. The women
have no desire to construct geometric shapes, preferring to make
the best of what has been left for them. Gifted with style and
intuition, but cursed with gossip and hatred for other hair colors,
women have banded into Beauty Cults!
Armed with machine guns, dumb platinum
blond PHAYRAYS, ruthless brunette SATANAS and ill-tempered redheaded
TEMPESTS battle each other among the ruins of Femphis, over a
dissipating supply of lipstick and ammo. Except for one Beauty
Cult who had to be different: SUPERSTARLET A.D!
Direct descendents from 1950s starlets,
Superstarlet A.D. believes all hair color is created equal. Leader
of Superstarlet A.D., Brunette Naomi, has one quest in life; to
find her grandmother’s ancestral burlesque film. Naomi and her
blonde lover Rachel search ancient movie theaters, bearing only
the title “Funny Pages” to guide them. With the other Beauty Cults
hot on their trail, can the forbidden love between Superstarlets
Naomi and Rachel exist in a post-apocalypstick world? Will Naomi
ever find her true identity within the abandoned buildings of
Memphis? Will the girls be able to uphold the number one rule
of Superstarlet A.D.; “Thou shall not kill another woman”?
A homage to pop culture,
comic books, punk rock, and films like Faster Pussycat Kill
Kill!, and Troma’s War, director JMM pays tribute
to the past, present and future with hilarious dialogue, non stop
chaos and modern day irony. Apocalypse Meow!
