The Somerville Theatre is thrilled to show a new 35mm print of the rarely-screened WINTER KILLS, William Richert’s 1979 black comedy thriller starring Jeff Bridges and John Huston.

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.

Fed up with life in New York City, bleach-blonde rocker Wendy (Hamilton) spontaneously hops on a plane to Tokyo… only to find that her friend who lives there has moved, she has no money, and she doesn’t know the language. 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!

Cinematic documentarian Alexandre O. Philippe (78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene) dives deep into the connections between the work of David Lynch and one of the most beloved films of all time, THE WIZARD OF OZ. Any cursory Lynch devotee will see the connections between his work and Victor Fleming’s classic but Philippe delves deeper with the aid of some of contemporary cinema’s most exciting voices. LYNCH/ OZ features narration and insights from film critic and podcaster Amy Nicholson plus filmmakers Rodney Ascher (Room 237), Karyn Kusama (The Invitation), Benson and Moorhead (Something in the Dirt), and David Lowery (The Green Knight). The piece-de-resistance for any underground film lover, however, has got to be the central section featuring the unmistakable John Waters, a longtime friend of Lynch.
