Enviro-Doc at RAW
Coming to the Real Art Ways Movie Theater in Hartford:PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA
Directed by Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer
Narrated by John Waters
The film plays through December 13th at REAL ART WAYS
56 Arbor St Hartford, CT 06106 *
"Weird and wonderful." - The New Times
"A heartbreaking, sidesplitting parade of humanity." - Village Voice
"One-of-a-kind documentary... A startlingly funny portrait of Gothic Americana." - Christian Science Monitor
"Historically thorough and thoroughly hysterical." - L.A. Weekly
"Droll, deadpan... A fascinating, nutty story, a kind of Chinatown gonewrong (or gone more wrong.) - Chicago Tribune
"An interesting, disturbing, and humorous look at environmental disaster." - The Berkeley Daily Planet
"A hilarious and kindly ode to a fallen paradise." - SF Weekly
"Four stars! Offering you a vacation like you've never had before... in this charming, yet sad documentary." - Film Threat
Fabulously offbeat and refreshingly upbeat, this lovable film gets friendly with the natives of the Salton Sea, an inland ocean of massive fish kills, rotting resorts, and 120 degree nights located just minutes from urban Southern California. This award-winning filmfrom directors Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer details the rise andfall of the Salton Sea, from its heyday as the "California Riviera" where boaters and Beach Boys mingled in paradise to its present stateas a decaying, forgotten ecological disaster. From wonderland to wasteland, PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA captures a place far more interesting than the shopping malls and parking lots of suburban America, a wacky world where a beer-swilling Hungarian Revolutionary, a geriatric nudist, and a religious zealot building a monument to God all find solace and community. Crisply and hilariously narrated by oddball auteur John Waters, and featuring music by desert lounge rockers Friends of Dean Martinez,PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA melds high camp with stark realism, offering both a sobering message about the consequences of tampering with nature and a heart-warming tale of individualism.
