PART OF CULTURE SHOCK SERIES AT PICTUREHOUSE, "EDGAR WRIGHT PRESENTS.."
Hot on the heels of its Nicolas Winding Refn Presents… series, which included Brian De Palma's Body Double, Picturehouse and Culture Shock bring a season of Edgar Wright Presents.... This series, which begins September 12th, will include a screening of De Palma's Phantom Of The Paradise on October 10th.
Edgar Wright's Verdict: "Brian De Palma’s only rock-and-roll horror opera! Does that not grab you? For my money it’s better than The Rocky Horror Picture Show, with a satirical script, eye-popping visuals, and iconic cult performances by Paul Williams, Gerritt Graham, Jessica Harper and William Finley. Obsessed over by Guillermo Del Toro, Daft Punk and myself, this will become your new favourite cult movie."
The series page states, "Mr Wright will try and introduce them all in person, but as he is a very busy man look out for confirmation via social media as the dates approach!" The other films chosen by Wright are: Michael Cimino's Thunderbolt And Lightfoot, John Landis' The Blues Brothers, Joel and Ethan Coen's Raising Arizona, Walter Hill's The Driver, and Russ Meyer's Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls.
