Interesting facts

Viva is a 2007 American sex comedy film written and directed by Anna Biller and starring, in addition to Biller, Jared Sanford, Bridget Brno, Chad England, Marcus DeAnda, and John Klemantaski. The plot concerns a 1970s suburban housewife who is dragged through the worst excesses of the sexual revolution.

Production

Biller's concept for Viva originally started as a photo series inspired by old Playboy magazines, and the photos inspired her to create a story surrounding these characters. Another major inspiration was Luis Buñuel's film Belle de Jour (1967). Biller used the photos as a proof-of-concept, and was able to secure the full funding to make a feature film from a private investor.
