SUMMARY:The Grifters (M) PRESENTED IN 35MM FILM
LOCATION:The Revival House Perth
DESCRIPTION:The Grifters (M\, 1990) Presented in 35mm Film by The Revival 
 House Perth Roy Dillon (John Cusack) is a small-time con artist working sh
 ort cons across Los Angeles\, caught between two dangerous women who repre
 sent the two possible futures of his criminal life. His estranged mother\,
  Lilly (Anjelica Huston)\, a hardened\, long-con grifter working for the m
 ob\, resurfaces in his life just as his girlfriend Myra (Annette Bening)\,
  an ambitious and manipulative fellow con artist\, pushes Roy toward incre
 asingly high-stakes and dangerous schemes. As mother\, son\, and girlfrien
 d circle one another in a tense web of deception\, manipulation\, and comp
 eting loyalties\, Roy finds himself caught between the world of small-time
  hustling he's always known and the far more perilous\, morally corrosive 
 path that both women represent\, forcing him toward a reckoning that will 
 determine which version of himself he ultimately becomes. Director Stephen
  Frears\, working from Donald E. Westlake's screenplay adapting Jim Thomps
 on's novel\, crafts a dark\, morally corrosive noir that explores the corr
 upting nature of the confidence game and its effects on family bonds. Anje
 lica Huston delivers a fierce\, Academy Award-nominated performance as the
  hardened Lilly\, while Annette Bening brings dangerous sensuality and cal
 culation to Myra\, creating a genuinely unsettling triangle of manipulatio
 n between mother\, son\, and lover. John Cusack grounds the film's escalat
 ing tension with wary vulnerability\, caught between two women who each se
 e him as a means to their own ends. Frears's unflinching direction\, paire
 d with the film's bleak\, unsentimental view of the con artist's world\, r
 esults in a genre masterwork that refuses easy resolution\, cementing The 
 Grifters' status as one of the finest neo-noir films of its era. Original 
 format and audio experience of this film faithfully reproduced by The Revi
 val House. Presented in 35mm film unless noted otherwise. When: Wednesday\
 , October 14th at 7:20PM Where: The Revival House at the Como Theatre Rati
 ng: M (Occasional violence\, Coarse language\, Sexual allusions) Frears's 
 dark neo-noir masterwork explores the corrosive nature of the con—experi
