Fickrhappy is back at The Frida Cinema, bringing with them a screening Milos Forman’s 1981 rarely-screened epic Ragtime!
America at the dawn of the 20th century bursts to life in this sweeping, ambitious adaptation of E. L. Doctorow’s celebrated novel. Set in a nation electrified by upheaval, Ragtime weaves together the lives of dreamers and revolutionaries as their stories collide in a rapidly changing New York. A proud Black pianist seeks justice after an act of racist cruelty. A glamorous chorus girl becomes the center of a national scandal. Historical figures – including magician Harry Houdini, activist Emma Goldman, and tycoon J. P. Morgan – drift through a world where wealth and poverty sit side by side, and where the promise of America feels both intoxicating and fragile.
Featuring a remarkable ensemble cast, including Debbie Allen, Brad Dourif, Elizabeth McGovern, Kenneth McMillan, Donald O’Connor, Jeff Daniels, Mandy Patinkin, Howard E. Rollins, Mary Steenburgen, Samuel L. Jackson, and James Cagney in his final film performance, Ragtime is a powerful tapestry of music and hope.
