Todd Haynes’s highly controversial queer triptych screens alongside a viscerally graphic short cinematic collage by legendary filmmaker Luther Price.
Another dazzling suburban phantasm from writer-director Todd Haynes, Dottie Gets Spanked is a stylized, bittersweet nod to the filmmaker’s childhood fascination with I Love Lucy. Set deep in the heart of pre-hippie 60s America, a young, artistically-inclined boy is obsessed with Dottie Frank, wacky star of the eponymous hit sitcom The Dottie Show. Haynes' television debut, created for ITVS for the seven-part “TV Families” series, was broadcast on PBS and provoked conservative ire for its depiction of queer desire.
