Unfolding in a futuristic netherworld, where the antithetical spheres of fascism and body glitter collide with one another to create a hellish state of illusionary happiness, this salacious tale of disco decadence gone awry follows the musical misadventures of Alphie and Bibi (two wide-eyed singers from Moose Jaw) and their attempt to make it in the concrete domain of Mr. Boogalow, the president of BIM (Boogalow's International Music). Seriously, the production design by Hans Jürgen Kiebach (CABARET, 1972) was out of this world and the costumes by Ingrid Zoré are downright awe-inspiring." -yum yum 08.21.2008  Preceded by a gaggle of super sexy dance-athon '80s trailers! 35mm print courtesy of MGM. 90min.
