The movie

Lulu Danger is on the brink of depression. Unhappy with her unsatisfying, passionless, and monotonous marriage, she works at a second-class restaurant managed by her husband, who is more interested in money than in his wife. When she hears a magician named Beverly Luff Linn will soon be stopping by a neighbourhood hotel for one of his shows, she decides to leave everything behind and set off on an adventure. Two years after the NIFFF patrons barely survived the electric shock that was The Greasy Strangler , Jim Hosking cements his status as an unparalleled world-builder with his second film. Trading slimy humour for bizarre situation comedy, the director leverages the talent of actors well-suited to his distinctive style. With legendary dance numbers and grunting scenes, An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn should effortlessly become the NIFFF 2018’s most cult film
