Bottoms - BACK TO SCHOOL
High school has never been this hilariously unhinged.
Two unpopular queer best friends start a “self-defense club” to hook up with cheerleaders—only for it to turn into a chaotic, bloody fight for school glory. Wildly absurd, sharply satirical, and packed with unapologetic energy, Bottoms flips the teen comedy on its head.
Before the chaos of Bottoms hits the screen, we’ll set the scene with a short intro on September 17th. Stick around after the film for a special Mental Health Panel Talk (in Dutch), exploring themes from the film and real-life experiences of today’s teens.
Twee impopulaire queer beste vriendinnen starten een “zelfverdedigingsclub” om dichter bij cheerleaders te komen, maar raken verstrikt in een knotsgek, bloederig gevecht om schoolroem. Vlijmscherp, absurd en vol energie: Bottoms zet de tienerkomedie volledig op zijn kop.
Voordat Bottoms losbarst op het scherm, zetten we op 17 september het toneel met een korte introductie. Blijf na de film hangen voor een speciale Mental Health Panel Talk, waarin we de thema’s uit de film en de ervaringen van tieners van vandaag bespreken.
