About the film:
World Premiere, 2022 Venice Film Festival
Filmmaker Ti West returns with another chapter from the twisted world of X (2022).
“a loving homage to early Hollywood films, from the sweeping score to the bathed-in-Technicolor nightmare.”
鈥擲arah Jane, Austin Chronicle
Trapped on her family鈥檚 isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she鈥檚 seen in the movies, Pearl鈥檚 ambitions, temptations, and repressions all collide, in the stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of the聽iconic villain from X (2022).
The story continues in MaXXXine (2024), opening at the Film Center on Friday, July 5, 2024, with a special Sneak Preview on Wednesday, July 3. Get tickets here!
