DADDY LONGLEGS - Sunday 7/18, Monday 7/19 and Wednesday 7/21 @Ritz
Advance tickets available here
A beautiful and artful film from the streets of New York is getting some select dates at the Ritz this week. DADDY LONGLEGS is one of the most touching and dark films of the year, and we're very proud to offer an Austin exclusive engagement of it. Masterfully shot and performed with brilliance by a cast of unknowns, DADDY LONGLEGS is the kind of American art film that stays with you for months.
A young, helpless single father is allowed a few weeks visitation with his darling adolescent boys. He is tragically torn, as so many parents of our generation are, between being their friend and being a father, and he is unable to ever strike the correct balance. Everything this man does is with good intentions but poor decision-making, and in doing so he brings to light some of the most troubling aspects of modern parenting.
Filmed on a low-budget and in a Cassavetes camera style, DADDY LONGLEGS is a new kind of a film with a sense of urgency and realism reminiscent of the impulses of the French New Wave. The directors are able to capture a dream-like portrait of New York, endlessly nostalgic and yet somehow also of our time. This is not to be missed.
