THE DRIVER’S SEAT aka Identikit 4K Restoration d. Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, 1974 + Intro/Q&A with food from the Electric Elephant Café, presented by The Vito Project Queer Film Club at The Cinema Museum (09 JUL 19:30).

“The VITO Project Queer Film Club is collaborating with the BFI to present a very rare screening of one of the most obscure, bizarre and wildly misunderstood films of Elizabeth Taylor’s illustrious career. We will be celebrating the BFI’s Blu-ray release of a new 4K restoration – the first time the film is officially available in any format in the UK.”

“Elizabeth Taylor stars as a troubled woman who, upon arriving in Rome, finds a city fragmented by autocratic law, leftist violence and her own increasingly unhinged mission to find the most dangerous liaison of all.”

“Adapted from an unnerving novella by Muriel Spark (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie), the film marked a wild step into the unknown for the screen icon, as she cast off the shackles of the US studio system in the shadow of her tumultuous personal life. Co-starring Ian Bannen, Mona Washbourne and Andy Warhol, The Driver’s Seat stunned critics and audiences alike upon its premiere in 1974 but failed to secure a UK release – until now.” (The Vito Project)
