If you don't get your fill of celebrity sighting during South By this week, don't worry. After years of trying, we've finally arranged to have Bud Cort, the star of BREWSTER McCLOUD and HAROLD & MAUDE, come out to the Alamo Ritz for a special double-feature of his two breakout roles.At 7pm, join Bud for a screening of BREWSTER McCLOUD, Robert Altman's madcap surrealist adventure that was filmed right here in Texas and focuses on the story of a young man (Cort) obsessed with building a functional set of wings so he can fly around inside the Astrodome (R.I.P.). The story takes off from there, of course, and Brewster soon caught up in a whirlwind of crackpots, romance and a mysterious killer.
Then at 9:45, HAROLD & MAUDE. No character defines art house cinema like the faux-suicidal Harold in this classic romance between an unlikely pair of eccentrics, and Mr. Cort's deadpan humor in no small way helped created one of the most unique cult hits of our time. Whether this will be your first viewing or your hundredth, we can't think of a single better way to enjoy this masterpiece than by starting out with a salute to Bud Cort live.
Tickets for BREWSTER McCLOUD are available here.
