SAT OCT 8, 2022 7:30pm CRUISING $17.00 MUBI Theatre at the Aero | Beyond Fest 2022 Q&A with filmmaker William Friedkin Screening courtesy of Warner Bros. Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
ABOUT THE FILM A bleakly chilling emotional travelogue of desperation, loneliness and spiritual hunger, CRUISING stars Al Pacino as a naïve undercover cop who descends into the leather-bar underworld of New York’s gay S&M scene. Widely condemned and misinterpreted on its release, CRUISING emerges today as one of Friedkin’s major works – it succeeds as a police procedural, horror film (there are scenes every bit as terrifying as THE EXORCIST), and saga of one seemingly “decent” man’s inability to face the truth about himself. Featuring a terrific score by composer Jack Nitzsche, with songs by The Germs. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: Warner Bros.
