Un cinema fatiscente devoto a grandi classici, film erotici, horror, Kung Fu e titoli queer con un doppio programma che cambiava ogni giorno; e le maratone notturne, con protagonisti Russ Meyer, John Waters, Derek Jarman e David Lynch. Filmati d\u2019archivio, immagini straordinarie, e le testimonianze di chi ha contribuito a costruire la famigerata reputazione dello Scala si combinano in un inno universale al potere del cinema.<\/p>\n

The riotous inside story of the infamous sex, drugs and rock \u2018n\u2019 roll repertory grindhouse which inspired a generation during Britain\u2019s turbulent Margaret Thatcher years, 1978 \u2013 1993. The crumbling picture palace showed high-art classics, sexploitation, horror, Kung Fu and queer titles in daily changing double bills and all-night marathons and put the names of Russ Meyer, John Waters, Derek Jarman and David Lynch into cineaste conversations, Archive footage, amazing movie clips and testimonies from those involved in making the Scala\u2019s infamous reputation combine for a universal shout-out to the power of cinema.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”44300″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1695213182692{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
