This re-release is being presented courtesy of author and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, a longtime Winter Kills fan and champion.

This thinly veiled and hyper-paranoiac take on the JFK assassination stars Bridges as Nick Kegan, scion of a fabulously wealthy and powerful family headed by patriarch Huston (“the real delight of the film” – Canby, New York Times), as a character based on Joe Kennedy. Bridges soon finds himself going down multiple rabbit holes while trying to unravel the conspiracy behind the murder of a U.S. president, his older brother.

As luck would have it, one night she runs into Hiro (Yukai), a rock ‘n’ roller whose band is looking for their big break. They form a romantic and musical connection and together end up making a hit record. But Wendy soon begins to wonder whether life in Japan is really for her. This charmer of an American indie from Fran Rubel Kuzui (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) feels a little bit like Jim Jarmusch’s Mystery Train in reverse and features terrific footage of late-’80s Tokyo. Rediscovered and restored thanks to the efforts of IndieCollect! Brattle Debut!
