NW Film Center presents SEXY BEAST at Top Down: Rooftop Cinema + DJ Set by DJs Aaron and Cheyenne from Reverse Couples Skate
Thu, Jul 23, 2015 at 8pm
- All Ages, Bar with ID
US/SPAIN 2000
DIRECTOR: JONATHAN GLAZER
Famed music video director (Radiohead, Blur) Jonathan Glazer’s first feature updates the classic heist film with equal doses of sharp comedy and chilling menace. Gal (Ray Winstone), a London gangster retired to the south of Spain with his porn star wife and pool boy, is reluctantly pulled back into a life of crime by his old mentor, Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), a frighteningly and hilariously unhinged maniac. “Spouting profanity, staring daggers at any perceived enemy, and talking nuts to himself in a mirror like De Niro in a Cockney TAXI DRIVER, Kingsley creates an unforgettable monster.”—Rolling Stone. (89 mins.)
Pre-film DJ set by XRAY DJs Aaron and Cheyenne from Reverse Couples Skate, sponsored by XRAY.fm
Doors at 7pm; Music at 8pm; Film at dusk.
