Electrik children

Description

A sparky, offbeat indie exploring the opposites-attract relationship between religion and music.

 

Rachel, a rambunctious teenager is from a fundamentalist Mormon family in Utah. Rock music is strictly forbidden, and when she discovers a renegade rock cassette tape on her 15th birthday, she has a near miraculous experience – later claiming that the music has made her pregnant.

 

Winning rave reviews in early screenings, this is singular and mischievous tale. 

 

"...as irresistibly fizzy as a sachet of Pop Rocks" Leslie Felperin, Variety

 

"...Bewilderingly enthralling and captivating...a singular film one must see" Joshua Brunsting, Criterion Cast
