A sexually transmitted disease called STBO is sweeping the country; it's spread by having sex without emotional involvement, and most of its victims are teenagers who make love out of curiosity rather than commitment. While a serum that can treat the disease has been formulated, it's been locked away in an inaccessible government building. A woman hires a man to steal the serum.

Join us in Spring 2021 for a series on the French film movement of the 1980s and ‘90s known as the Cinéma du Look. These films were groundbreaking and shocking in their combination of European art film sensibilities, comic book visuals, Hollywood spectacle, and youthful rebellion.

We will be screening and discussing five seminal films of the movement over Zoom.
