Do those cute little Cupid cherubs make you feel murderous inside? Do the gushing, lovey-dovey OTT displays of emotion on Valentine’s Day make you throw up in your mouth a little bit? If you want a place to hideout until the PDA is over, look no further. Starting today and running until 15th February, the Barbican are hosting an anti-Valentine’s Day weekend called My Twisted Valentine, screening films that will make you make sure you never fall in love again…
From the lonely-heart murderers in The Honeymoon Killers to the manic obsession of a trumpet player with a dead ringer for the blonde bombshell that he witnessed the cold-blooded killing of in Venus in Furs, these are the films that will have you making a pact with yourself to never say the words “til death do us part.”
Here’s the full line up…
The Honeymoon Killers
Harold and Maude
