Norman Mailer on Film “Film is a phenomenon whose resemblance to death has been ignored for too long.” Sunday, July 22, 4:30 pm Author Norman Mailer joins us for an onstage conversation––to say the least, an event we have long looked forward to. We will be screening two of his films: Tough Guys Don’t Dance and Maidstone. Different in all ways but both made with the same exploratory daring, these are gutsy examples of uncorked Americana: thrillingly convulsive experiences completely lacking any sense of propriety. Admission ($25 FSLC & Anthology members and students; $35 general public) to the screening of Tough Guys Don’t Dance and the conversation with Norman Mailer includes a complimentary ticket to Maidstone at 8:00 p.m. Regularly ($7 FSLC & Anthology members and students; $11 public) priced tickets to the 8pm screening of Maidstone are also available. This event is part of the series The Mistress & the Muse: The Films of Norman Mailer, running July 25- August 2 at Anthology Film Archives, presented with The Maysles Film Institute and the Museum of Television & Radio. As a special offer, Film Society members will receive a member's discount to the Anthology series.

			Tough Guys Don’t Dance Norman Mailer, US, 1987; 110m “Categories are just critics’ attempts to bring order to a complex aesthetic universe.” And so, Mailer’s adaptation of his own 1983 novel, shot on location in his beloved Provincetown, is blessedly uncategorizable: part detective fiction, part “Grand Guignol” comedy of manners…“or tragicomedy without manners.” “Tough Guys Don’t Dance is going to be a movie that drives critics insane because it doesn’t straddle two forms. It straddles about four or five.” An alcoholic writer and ex-con emerges from a blackout to find a severed head in his pot stash. What emerges from there is a full immersion cinematic experience. Beautifully shot by John Bailey, with an unforgettable cast that includes Ryan O’Neal, Isabella Rossellini, Frances Fisher, Wings Hauser, Penn Jillette, Clarence Williams III, Lawrence Tierney, and Debra Sandlund.
			Maidstone Norman Mailer, US, 1971; 110m “In June of 1968, in the wake of the assassination of Robert Kennedy and the attempt on the life of Andy Warhol, the elegant resort town of East Hampton witnessed a bizarre invasion of celebrities and unknowns, professional actors and amateurs, black radicals and underground superstars, assembled by Norman Mailer for a movie in which he would both direct and star. Shot by D.A. Pennebaker and Ricky Leacock, Maidstone, Mailer’s third and most ambitious film, concerns the exploits of highly popular, yet esoteric, film director Norman T. Kingsley.... Described by Mailer as ‘a guerilla raid on the nature of reality,’ Maidstone sets the stage for an explosion of human passions in its volatile mix of existential politics, direct cinema and sexual intrigue that dissolves the line between fiction and actuality.”—Michael Chaiken
