The film

Faster than
the legend
itself.

Best remembered as the fierce Varla in Russ Meyer’s 1965 cult classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Tura’s real life was just as wild and unapologetic as her on-screen persona. TURA! traces the exploitation star’s tumultuous journey for independence and revenge, with rare archival footage from the gritty corners of the industry where she thrived.
