Programmer's Pick
Pelvis is what happens when low-budget parody collides with the glittery gutter of the music business: think shock-gimmick acts, full frontal absurdity, and enough pie-in-the-face gags to leave you sticky. If you ever wondered what would happen if rural innocence met Manhattan sleaze head-on, this cult oddity provides the answer—with a healthy dose of silver body paint.
