CONTENT WARNING:

Mala Noche is the film debut from director Gus Van Sant. The film portrays the unanswered love of an American man toward a young Mexican man.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

After the phenomenal successes of Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho, director Gus Van Sant's stunning first feature is strangely still not available on cassette. In response to numerous requests we are happy to present a mini Van Sant retro by adding two shorts - Gus Van Sant's Diary and Thanksgiving Prayer to this encore showing of Mala Noche.

A lush and reflective portrait of the turbulent life of Frida Kahlo, Mexico's flamboyant artist and wife of muralist Diego Rivera. Told in engaging flashbacks, Frida recalls Kahlo in all her roles: a stirring public figure, political activist, bold individualist and one of this century's most expressive painters.

This film is a chronicle of painter Frida Kahlo, and her encounter with the personalities of her time. Despite being confied to a wheelchair as a result of polio, operations and amputations, she faces and traces some of the most colorful and controversial aspects of Mexican history, during the dominant time of Mexican muralism.

"The murder, the thief and the homo: Director Vic Morrow (yes, the actor) keeps the cipher like characterizations but brings a cinematic quality to Genet's one set stage play. Leonard Nimoy (yes, Mr. Spock) (who co-produced the film with Morrow) is the small time thief who battles with queer Paul Mazursky (yes, the director) over the illiterate, muscular king convict Michael Forest. Deathwatch is a bold gay themed mainstream movie that vanished rapidly on its release and has not been screened since." - San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film Festival

Based on a play by Jean Genet, a small-time thief battles with his gay cellmate over a third illiterate, muscular convict.
