DAILY | Shirley Clarke’s THE CONNECTION →
- May 3 -
“Fifty years after it was first screened, then banned, then largely and idiotically dismissed, the audacity of Shirley Clarke’s 1962 film The Connection still packs a staggering wallop,” begins Glenn Kenny at the top of a terrific post at Some Came Running. “The movie, in a wonderful restoration from Milestone Films in collaboration with the Film Foundation, opens again tomorrow at the IFC Center, and it’s absolutely unmissable, an unassailable high-water mark for American cinema.”
Yes, do check this out, such a fantastic Film, I saw this at the premiere of the restored print at Berlinale this year and I’m so surprise at how this was kept away for so long. A testament as to what one can be done with great ideas, provoking characters and a single room with some junkies.
