Cholita!

About This Movie

Cholita! offers a raw, vibrant slice of underground music culture through the lens of Vaginal Davis's band. You really get a sense of the camaraderie between the performers, especially with Alex Bag's Sad Girl and Fertile La Toyah Jackson as Guadalupe. The film's pacing flows like a live performance, with a mix of chaos and charm that keeps you engaged. It's fascinating how it captures the spirit of a specific moment in 90s counterculture, blending humor and social commentary. The performances are candid and, at times, strikingly genuine, giving off this electric vibe that’s hard to shake. It’s definitely a unique piece of cultural documentation that stands out.

Cholita! remains somewhat elusive in collector circles, primarily due to its limited release and niche audience appeal. The film has circulated primarily on VHS, making original copies a rare find. As more collectors seek out unique representations of 90s counterculture, this film garners interest for its candid portrayals and lively performances, contributing to its underground legacy.
