CCA screens Feminist Classic The Gold Diggers

About

The Gold Diggers is the groundbreaking first feature from Sally Potter, director of Orlando and The Tango Lesson. Made with an all female crew, featuring stunning photography by Babette Magolte and a score by Lindsay Cooper, it embraces a radical and experimental narrative structure. Celeste, played by Colette Laffont, is a computer clerk in a bank who becomes fascinated by the relationship between gold and power. Julie Christie stars as Ruby, an enigmatic film star in quest of her childhood, her memories, and the truth about her own identity. As their paths cross they come to sense that there could be a link between the male struggle for economic supremacy and the female ideal of mysterious but impotent beauty. 'A feminist sci-fi musical extravaganza... Remains consistently fresh and unpredictable.' Sight and Sound
