10th Anniversary! AUTO FOCUS, 2002, September 22, 2012

Saturday, September 22 – 7:30 PM
10th Anniversary! AUTO FOCUS, 2002, Sony Pictures Classics, 105 min. Greg Kinnear gives one of his finest performances as Bob Crane, the affable star of television's "Hogan's Heroes," in director Paul Schrader’s subversive Hollywood biopic. A savagely funny, ultimately tragic portrait of a likable celebrity who hides a sex addiction and an exhibitionistic streak - a streak that manifests itself in Crane's unusual friendship with John Carpenter (Willem Dafoe), an electronics enthusiast who records the duo's sexual escapades. As the men's relationship turns darker, Schrader's film grows more compelling. Discussion following with Greg Kinnear, producers Larry Karaszewski, Scott Alexander and Todd Rosken and screenwriter Michael Gerbosi, moderated by Andy Marx.
