35th Anniversary 4K Restoration!

Sunday, October 5 at 4:10: Q&A with director Adrian Lyne, moderated by Aaron Stewart-Ahn (co-screenwriter, Mandy)

Lyne followed his 80s blockbusters Flashdance, 9½ Weeks and Fatal Attraction with this surprising turn to psychological horror. Plagued by troubling hallucinations and traumatic flashbacks, Vietnam vet Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) struggles to maintain his sanity when his terrible past begins invading his waking life. As girlfriend Jezzie (Elizabeth Peña) and chiropractor friend Louis (Danny Aiello) try to help him find balance, Jacob only descends further into madness and despair.

 

“Lyne's giddying, unsettling direction conjures up moments of horrifying hallucinogenic power from the bad-trip hell of his protagonist.” – Time Out
