She's a sex kitten, she's a surburban housewife, but most of all, she's Japanese American indie filmmaker Anna Biller who makes an aesthetic out of 1960s and 70s kitsch and pulp culture. 

After a series of meticulously crafted short films, Anna Biller has now made her first feature VIVA in which she (pictured above) plays a bored 1970s Southern Californian housewife who seeks new experiences and adventures which take her into the sexual revolution of the time. 

Cinepod interviewed Anna Biller at the Torino film festival in Italy where she premiered her feature, and also showed a retrospective of her short films. She explains to Cinepod's Roger Garcia her "trash" aesthetic, the position of the outsider, and her enthusiasm for all things 70s! A truly original artist, Anna Biller turns the everyday into a parallel universe of insight.
