Something Wild
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Jonathan Demme
1986 / 114min / 35mm
Jeff Daniels is a corporate cog just miserable enough to be swept off his feet by Melanie Griffith’s devil-may-care Lulu, who drags him from New York City to rural Pennsylvania, where he’s to pose as her successful boyfriend at a high school reunion (featuring The Feelies as the house band), and all the time wondering how he got to where he is at this moment. “Demme’s picaresque joyride across the American landscape is still arguably the best thing he’s ever done… bobbing between Preston Sturges social farce and Blue Velvet antisocial nightmare”—Chicago Reader
“Jonathan Demme gave me my first break as a mixer with Melvin and Howard (1980), my first feature project. He was one of my favorite humans and a wonderful director to work with. Something Wild was the second film that I had the privilege to work with him on, and one of the most enjoyable experiences I ever had on a mix stage.”—Tom Fleischman
Introduction and Q&A with Sound Engineer and Re-Recording Mixer Tom Fleischman, moderated by Music Editor Missy Cohen, MPSE, on Saturday, June 15th
