Once more… thank you Bob, for a wonderful recommendation! While not exactly uplifting (Vincent Canby’s original New York Times review summed it up beautifully… “life is having a cigarette and no match and then finding a match and getting slightly ill on the first puff.”) Fat City was an eye-opening MovieNight experience, and a somewhat obtuse start to our mini-season celebrating the life and work of John Huston. Where will it take us next week? Somewhere good. That’s a given.
