************************************************************************
The Rio Theatre's Friday Late Night Movie series continues on July 5 with one of the most requested titles we get from our audience of cinephiles, Terry Gilliam's gonzo trip-fest FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS.
************************************************************************
Only visionary director Gilliam (BRAZIL, TWELVE MONKEYS) could manage to make Hunter S. Thompson’s seminal classic, a psychedelic fever dream of epic proportions about a (very) drug-fueled Vegas road trip, into one of the most memorable movies of the era. Featuring standout performances from Johnny Depp, Benicio del Toro, Tobey Maguire, Ellen Barkin, Christina Ricci, and many more.
"Bizarre, unpredictable yet strangely alluring." (Film4)
"Visually incredible and blessed with great performances from Depp and Del Toro, this is destined for cult classic status - but the plot and symbolism are less impressive." (Empire Magazine)
