“Vixen! is the best film to date in that uniquely American genre, the skin-flick. In a field filled with cheap, dreary productions, Meyer is the best craftsman and the only artist.” – Roger Ebert
Amid the cultural upheaval of the late ’60s, Russ Meyer transcended the sexploitation genre by crafting this “bosomacious melodrama” (Time Magazine) about racism, communism, bush pilots and draft dodgers.
While a naive bush pilot flies tourists to the wilderness of Northwest Canada, his sex-crazed wife gets lonely–or does she? A Mountie, a married couple, and her biker brother all drop by while hubby’s away.
Despite attempts at censorship that included one of the first-ever X ratings and 23 separate U.S. prosecutions for obscenity, it became one of the year’s top-grossing movies, forever transformed independent film and remains the creative template for Meyer’s unapologetic vision of American cinema.
