 FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER PRESENTS AN EVENING WITH PAUL MORRISSEY featuring the U.S. Premiere of NEWS FROM NOWHERE Tuesday, September 6 NEWS FROM NOWHERE (U.S. Premiere) 94min TRASH (1970) 110min The always provocative Paul Morrissey (HEAT, TRASH, FLESH) comes to the Walter Reade for the U.S. Premiere of his latest, NEWS FROM NOWHERE as well as an encore screening of his classic cult favorite, TRASH (1970). In between screenings, Morrissey will be joined on stage a conversation moderated by Oscar-nominated writer-director James Toback (FINGERS, BUGSY) to discuss Morrissey's latest and his career. Shot on location in Montauk, NEWS FROM NOWHERE is a visceral and topical drama following the encounters of an enigmatic Argentinian stranger with the residents of an Atlantic seaport town. The film is intentionally meant to return to the style not just of the director's earlier work, but to the type of films made in Europe in the 1960s and 70s. In the film, the main character's nature and appearance set him apart from the natives who attempt to connect with him and he has no intention of explaining or dramatizing himself, retaining only his surface identity. Whatever reason he has, he keeps to himself. For more articles like AN EVENING WITH PAUL MORRISSEY, please visit the Film Features Section of TimesSquare.com |
