Double Feature: THE HUNGER, 1983, TRUE ROMANCE, 1993, Evening hosted by director Joe Carnahan, with other special guests. October 26, 2012

Friday, October 26 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: THE HUNGER, 1983, Warner Bros., 97 min. Twenty years before anyone had ever heard of TWILIGHT, director Tony Scott was bringing impossibly glamorous bloodsuckers to the big screen. Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie star as a pair of upscale New York vampires who draw geriatrics researcher Susan Sarandon into their circle when age begins to catch up with one of them. “I must say, there's nothing that looks like it on the market,” remarked Bowie on release, and the film's rich sense of atmosphere inspired a cult following and a TV series. Watch closely for a performance by goth music icons Bauhuas, and one of Willem Dafoe's first movie roles. [35mm]

TRUE ROMANCE, 1993, Morgan Creek., 120 min. Director Tony Scott and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino collaborate for a characteristically over-the-top, stylishly haywire crime romance, following the explosive marriage of comic store clerk Clarence (Christian Slater) and prostitute Alabama (Patricia Arquette), who inherit a suitcase of cocaine on their wedding day. When the couple tries to sell the drugs, a slew of Hollywood’s hardest and most flamboyant gangsters (including Christopher Walken, James Gandolfini and Gary Oldham) starts gunning for the star-crossed lovers. With an estimable and delightfully tweaked-out supporting cast headed by Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt and Samuel L. Jackson. [35mm] Evening hosted by director Joe Carnahan, with other special guests TBA.
