Variety [1983] (BLU)
Bette Gordon

Synopsis
Bette Gordon's Variety is a landmark independent film that challenges common notions about feminism and pornography, which Kino Classics is proudly presenting in a director-approved 2K restoration from the original camera negative. It follows Christine (Sandy McLeod, Something Wild), a bright and unassuming young woman, after she takes a job selling tickets at a porno theater near Times Square. Christine soon develops an obession that begins to consume her life, finding self-expression through an interest in porn.
