Lost for decades, Eating Raoul and Death Race 2000 director Paul Bartel’s 1993 film has now been restored from the last remaining print and is being screened in the UK for the first time.

It’s the story of siblings Tina, Pam, and Scotty, who are taken down into mom and dad’s well-stocked bomb shelter when Kennedy is assassinated in 1963. Thirty years later, mom and dad are a long-dead ‘bag of bones’ and the now-adult kids have created a life for themselves based on remnants from the ’60s, intermittent output from the TV and their wild imaginations.

The Cube’s screening includes a pre-film supporting programme, including cast intros, plus a post-screening, pre-recorded Cast Q&A. It’s also streaming online. Go here for further information.
