See More Hoffman: Happiness @ 4:30 PM

Playing as part of See More Hoffman, a two day celebration of one of the greatest actors of our generation! As disturbingly funny as it is audaciously empathetic, auteur of unease Todd Solondz’s portrait of damaged souls reaching out for connection reveals the existential void underneath middle-class suburban “normalcy.” An extraordinary ensemble cast— including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jane Adams, Lara Flynn Boyle, Ben Gazzara, and Dylan Baker—embodies an array of loosely connected New Jersey deviants, depressives, and misfits, among them a frustrated phone-sex pest, an all-American dad concealing his pedophilic urges, and a lonely woman with a grisly secret, all of whom want just one thing: to be loved. One of the most controversial films of the 1990s, the unflinching Happiness unnerves precisely because it dares to see the humanity in those most often denied it.

The Phenix City Story

Phenix City, Alabama (a.k.a. “Sin City, U.S.A.”), became nationally notorious in 1954, when the good-ol’-boy gangsters who ran the town’s vice rackets conspired to murder Albert Patterson, a local lawyer who’d just been elected Alabama’s attorney general. Filmed on location while the murder trial was still in progress, Phil Karlson’s raw report opens with newsreel footage of journalist Clete Roberts interviewing townspeople involved in the events. The drama that follows, cowritten by Daniel Mainwaring (Invasion of the Body Snatchers), mixes actors with real-life residents and facts with invented incidents in a shockingly detailed depiction of depravity and corruption.
