Screening of Boots Riley's absurdist film 'I Love Boosters', a critique of capitalism, at Studio 74 in Exeter Phoenix.
Boots Riley's new film I Love Boosters is playing at Exeter Phoenix in Studio 74, with screenings running from Friday 13 November through to Thursday 19 November. It's a 113-minute US production in English, and it carries an 18 certificate for strong sex.
Riley is back in Studio 74, where his previous film Sorry to Bother You went down well with the crowds here. I Love Boosters is described as an exuberant, absurdist, and colourful critique of capitalism. It follows Corvette, Mariah, and Sade, three professional shoplifters from the Bay Area who target the stores of Christie Smith, an amoral haute couture designer. They see their work as a kind of community service; Smith calls them the 'Velvet Gang' and 'low-class urban bitches'.
The cast is a big one: Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie, and Poppy Liu lead the way, with Demi Moore, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, and Don Cheadle all appearing. If you're familiar with Riley's work, you'll recognise Stanfield from Sorry to Bother You as well.
