Always for Pleasure
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Les Blank
1978 / 60min / DCP
Mardi Gras “Indians,” second line parades, crawfish boils, jazz funerals… Blank’s Always for Pleasure is a documentary love letter to the many things that make New Orleans a city like no other, an exuberant, seductive, swooning film that you don’t just want to watch but inhabit, shot right in the thick of the hurly-burly revelry. Featuring performances by and interviews with a who’s who of local musical talent—the Neville Brothers, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, and many more—Tulane University graduate Blank fills every frame with unmistakable affection for his former home and its rowdy, colorful residents.
