About the event
FAR OUT Film Night returns with A 1989 comedy-drama set in Memphis, Tennessee.
The film is a triptych of stories involving foreign protagonists, unfolding over the course of the same night. "Far from Yokohama" features a Japanese couple on a cultural Rock n’ Roll pilgrimage, "A Ghost" focuses on an Italian widow stranded in the city overnight, and "Lost in Space" follows the misadventures of a newly single and unemployed Englishman (Joe Strummer) and his reluctant companions (Rick Aviles and Steve Buscemi).
The narratives are linked by a run-down flophouse overseen by a night clerk (Screamin' Jay Hawkins) and his dishevelled bellboy (Cinqué Lee), the use of Elvis Presley's song "Blue Moon" and a gunshot.
STARRING: Youki Kudoh, Masatoshi Nagase, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Cinqué Lee, Nicoletta Braschi, Elizabeth Bracco, Joe Strummer, Rick Aviles, Steve Buscemi.
Doors from 5.30 pm
Screening at 6.30 pm
