To say that teenager Simone is a fan of “R”, an ice-cold new wave synth sensation, might be something of an understatement. Her entire life revolves around his music and image, much to the increasing concern of her friends and parents. Simone is a girl on a mission. Determined to meet her idol, she runs away from home to locate him in person at a TV appearance - fantasising about their love, and imagined future together. However, reality crashes down when “R” proves to be as cold as his image suggests, and Simone realises this particular god must be sacrificed on her elaborate altar of madness.
Slipping out into the world quietly in 1982, this hypnotic art-horror slow burn is deadly serious in its intent at portraying the outer edges of all-consuming obsession, which is perhaps why its rep has blossomed into its own cult in the intervening years. Come and join us for a romantic dish you won’t be forgetting in a hurry.
