New York Premiere of 2K Restoration
Presented by Cinématographe
Two small-time thieves come together as a bizarre comic duo in a quest to make their childhood dreams come true. This Cannes favorite finds the duo in a limousine stuffed with cash stolen from the mob as they take off for Miami, where they plan to fly to a safe haven in Costa Rica. The third film from American maverick Henry Jaglom returns to the big screen in a new 2K restoration.
Intro by Justin LaLiberty. Screening followed by a conversation between Cinématographe’s Justin LaLiberty and SPECIAL GUEST
