Double Feature: Gun Crazy + Bound
Advertisement
7 p.m.: GUN CRAZY (Joseph H. Lewis, 1950, 35mm, 87 mins)
New print! It’s love at first shot when a gifted marksman meets a carnival sharpshooter whose appetite for excitement proves impossible to resist. Together they race across postwar America chasing the next thrill, the next robbery, the next narrow escape, bound together by desire and self-destruction. An influence on BREATHLESS and BONNIE AND CLYDE, this is “a small but perfectly formed black-and-white masterpiece of flash and trash, unwholesome obsession, and criminal daring” (Peter Bradshaw). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive, made with thanks to the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
The "Treasures from the Yale Film Archive" series is presented with support from Paul L. Joskow ‘70 M.Phil., ‘72 Ph.D.
9:50 p.m.: BOUND (Lana & Lilly Wachowski, 1996, 35mm, 109 mins)
30th anniversary screening! Before reinventing sci-fi, the Wachowskis made their knockout neo-noir debut with a film known for its crackling chemistry, relentless suspense, unabashed eroticism, and style to burn. An ex-con fresh out of prison (Gina Gershon) and her alluring new neighbor (Jennifer Tilly) hatch a plot to steal millions from the mob, but first they’ve got to get around a money-laundering boyfriend (Joe Pantoliano) who fights dirty and suspects everyone. “BOUND is one of those movies that works you up, wrings you out, and leaves you gasping. It's pure cinema, spread over several genres” (Roger Ebert). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
"Sundance Revisited" features a selection of films from our collection that had their American or world premieres at the festival.
