The Bat Woman (La mujer murciélago) takes you on a rollicking ride through 1960s Mexican pulp cinema, where lucha libre meets superheroes meets The Creature from the Black Lagoon.In picturesque Acapulco, a series of wrestler murders prompts the enigmatic Batwoman (Maura Monti) to investigate. A deranged scientist is behind the mayhem, capturing wrestlers for his twisted experiments, and it’s up to Batwoman, who is also a coral diver, a wrestler, a markswoman, and super spy, to stop him.
Clad in a cape, cowl, and bikini, The Bat Woman delivers high-octane action and epic car chases in an uniquely thrilling, action-packed blend of suspense, intrigue and camp, with Monti’s unforgettable performance as the one and only Batwoman stealing the show.
Screening as part of Art of Action, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.
Presented by feminist film collective Invisible Women and T A P E collective. Special thanks to Viviana García Besné from Permanencia Voluntaria.
