Latest Events in City of Los Angeles(July Updated)

As part of their July series "US Tour," 7th House is proud to present William Klein 's brazen and bonkers pop art 60s satire MR. FREEDOM (1968)! Indefatigably irreverent, eye-poppingly colorful, and surrealistically silly, this underseen oddity is an eagle-eyed, no-holds-barrred takedown of American imperialism and jingoistic nationalism like none other! 1968: As the war in Vietnam reached its peak with the most US troop deployments and casualties since the conflict began, American expatriate fashion photographer turned filmmaker William Klein (who never returned home after being stationed in France in WWII) cast his brilliant and incisive eye on the Made in the U.S. brand of toxic Manifest Destiny machismo he saw as a threat to everyone, world over. Combining the sardonic absurdity of the mod fashion mockumentary he's perhaps best known for – WHO ARE YOU, POLLY MAGOO? (1966) – and the radical political fervor of his pro North Vietnamese Army collaboration (with Godard, Varda, Marker, Resnais and more) FAR FROM VIETNAM (1967), Klein unleashed his hilarious, vicious lampoon of imperialist American foreign policy: Mr. Freedom ( John Abbey ), a bellowing good-ol'-boy superhero decked out in copious football padding, jets to France to cut off a Commie invasion from Switzerland. A destructive, arrogant patriot in tight pants, Freedom joins forces with Marie Madeleine (a satirically sexy Delphine Seyrig ) to combat lefty freethinkers, as well as the insidious evildoers Moujik Man and inflatable Red China Man, culminating in a star-spangled showdown of kitschy excess. Delightfully crass, is a trenchant, rib-tickling takedown of gaudy modern Americana. Featuring cameos from Donald Pleasance, Serge Gainsbourg and more, MR. FREEDOM is a one-of-a-kind, bold, bright, brash, and bizarre sendup that is, alas and frightneningly, just as relevant today as it was nearly 60 years ago. Dir. William Klein, 1968, 92 mins, France, English, Unrated (Adult Audiences Only), Digital. Special thanks to Brian Belavorac of Janus Films.
