In February at Transmissions it's all VHS, all month.
In the warm embrace of Dalston Superstore's basement we'll be delivering you four tapes' worth of entertainment from the MTV era, hand-selected to make you feel like you're flipping channels late at night and feasting your eyes on the kind of sleazy, violent media and godless rock and roll the televangelist three channels back tried to warn you about.
For the finale of our month of analogue entertainment we'll be serving up feminist director Mary Harron's iconic American Psycho (2000), the bloody Wall Street satire of status-obsessed heterosexuality co-written by lesbian icon Guinevere Turner (Go Fish, The Watermelon Woman, The L Word), and of course adapted from the bestseller by once queer lit maestro turned neofasc podcaster Bret Easton Ellis.
Christian Bale stars as the sick, slick, sardonic and homicidal(?) Patrick Bateman alongside a legendary ensemble including Chloe Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Willem Dafoe, and Justin Theroux.
Join us deep down in the basement at Dalston Superstore for a true classic from an original VHS tape.
My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone
