** Newly restored director's cut! Unstreamable’s Jas Keimig and Chase Burns will introduce the June 5th screening **(Richard Shepard, US, 1991, 98 min, in English)
A comedy about a strange man from the UK who needs to get a Green Card ASAP (played by Bowie) and an eccentric woman who is trying – unsuccessfully – to be a professional escape artist (Rosanna Arquette). The cast is a bunch of proto-hipsters who live in New York City in the early ’90s. They all work at a surreal restaurant that displays a giant Salvador Dalí clock and makes its waitstaff wear uniforms made of silver lamé. It’s got A Fish Called Wanda vibes, but without the British slapstick comedy. It’s funny, odd, and deserving to be re-seen after years trapped in VHS-only purgatory! (Unstreamable)
