Tank Girl
30th Anniversary
Classics in 35mm
USA, 1995, Rachel Talalay
Lori Petty stars as the irrepressible Tank Girl in this fan favorite adaptation of the post-apocalyptic British comic series. Set in a desolate, water-scarce future, Tank Girl leads a motley crew of rebels, including the mutant kangaroo-human hybrids known as the Rippers, against the tyrannical Water & Power corporation headed by the villainous Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell). With its punk-rock aesthetic, irreverent humor, and feminist undertones, Tank Girl is a wild ride that charms in its weirdness and chaos. The soundtrack of this proto-riot grrrl oddity featured the best of women-fronted Nineties alt music outfits, including Portishead, L7, Veruca Salt, Hole, Belly, and Björk. Also starring Naomi Watts and Ice-T. 104 min. $14/$11.
