Join us for a feature film screening taking place at America House Kyiv and participate in a discussion about the exploration of identity, gender roles, and societal norms, as well as how its bold, campy portrayal of self-expression resonates with countercultural movements in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975) from director Jim Sharman.
Explore the language of cinema, watch movies in their original language, and practice your English-speaking skills through friendly moderated discussions at American Film Nights with America House Kyiv. Join us Tuesdays at 18:30 at America House Kyiv. Participation is by pre-registration only. Learn more about our upcoming films and how to attend here.
Our next event will take place on October 29th, at 18:30 at America House Kyiv (Mykoly Pymonenka Street 6.)
“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975)
On a wild and rain-swept late-November evening, somewhere at an empty stretch of road outside Ohio's merry Denton, blissfully-affianced, prudish, boringly-innocent young pair Brad Majors and Janet Weiss find themselves stranded on their way to visit an ex-tutor. Instead, the couple will inadvertently unearth the cross-dressing Dr. Frank-N-Furter's spooky lair of inexhaustible oddities, just in time to partake in the out-of-this-world mad scientist's proud unveiling of his latest, delightfully extravagant, most daring creation. But, little by little, as the effervescent transgressive force gobbles up all the unsuspecting visitors of the night, Brad and Janet slowly begin to embrace the potent fascinations of seduction, while an idolized Rocky roams free in the mansion. Who can interrupt a man's union with absolute pleasure?
