In the context of Sun Dutz Film Fest: Death Becomes Her. Live Drag Preshow & Film-Screening!

Fading actor Madeline wallows in her Beverly Hills villa, mourning the fame of her yesteryears. When she runs across her best fiend Helen after many years, the latter looks better than ever. Desperate Madeline accepts the shady offer of the mysterious Lisle Von Rhuman and drinks a potion that promises eternal youth—with fatal consequences. Star director Robert Zemeckis’s beauty-craze satire is both light-footed and slightly morbid, and features Academy Award-winning effects as well as a grotesque diva war, gloriously and furiously escalated by Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn.
