Directed by the Cuban-born René Cardona, one of the great filmmakers from Mexico’s Golden Age, singular cult classic The Batwoman combines the pop art camp of Adam West’s caped crusader with a dash of stylish Bond intrigue. Maura Monti stars as the titular heroine. A wealthy socialite from the Mexican capital, she also doubles as a horse-riding, underwater exploring, masked wrestling crime fighter. Sporting a cape, cowl, and two-piece, she’s tasked with tracking down who or what is behind a streak of murdered luchadores in postcard-perfect 60s Acapulco. This screening kicks off VIVA CINEMA – a new series at Vidiots focused on newly restored film discoveries from around the world and across time.
