The Brooklyn Center for Theatre Research is proud to present AMNESIASCOPE, a series of rare and remarkable films curated by Nick Newman. Our next screening is a surreal-beyond-compare comedy by one of the greatest filmmakers to ever live, who visited New York at the sunset of its No Wave era and shot the city with an outsider's eye that begets some lovechild of Martin Scorsese’s AFTER HOURS and Spanish soap operas. Brimming with images and sensibilities unlike anything you've seen or heard and starring a sui generis cast of downtown theater actors, the film lovingly satirizes a long-gone time when New York was the city for artists, lowlifes, killers, streetwise philosophers, and whoever might knock on your door.
