Tue, Nov 3 at 8:00pm: Staff Pick introduction from Tony
Part of Staff Picks and programmed by Tony, who says: “Unceremoniously dumped to video-on-demand after a short theatrical run in a handful of cities (but not Nashville), David Robert Mitchell’s beguiling 2019 follow-up to IT FOLLOWS never got the chance it deserved. In the years since, the Andrew Garfield oddity has grown into a polarizing cult classic. A small but dedicated group of real-life online sleuths, myself included, are actively trying to solve the mysteries of the film’s hidden codes. We believe the bread-crumb trail leads to a final, real-world solution, which will be revealed via GPS coordinates. What lies there? The mystery remains unsolved.”
“It’s the only film I’ve seen this year that reminded me of both David Foster Wallace and Raymond Chandler. A lot of movies throughout the year blend together in memory, but something tells me that “Under the Silver Lake” will stand out. I’m eager to see it again to pull it apart in different ways. It may not be an easy movie to sell to an audience, but it’s not an easy one to forget either.” —Brian Tallerico, rogerebert.com (Apr 19, 2019) “A major genre piece…. It's one that deserves a proper theatrical experience. You need to be entombed with it.” —Norman Wilner, NOW Toronto (Apr 24, 2019)
