About the event
“NO PICNIC doubles as a chronicle not just of a lost paradise but a forgotten era — of downtown NYC, of genuinely independent moviemaking, of an alternate version of the ‘greed is good’ go-go eighties.” —Rolling Stone A relic of a bygone era, the first and only film by Philip Hartman follows jukebox operator Macabee Cohn (David Brisbin) as he wanders the streets of the Lower East Side in search of a mysterious woman in a striped dress. Featuring appearances by Steve Buscemi, Richard Hell, Luis Guzmán, and more, the justly dubbed “swan song to a languishing New York tribe” (The Village Voice) takes you back to a time before the city bulldozed good taste. New 4K restoration.
