SUMMARY:Chasing Amy (MA 15+) PRESENTED IN 35MM FILM
LOCATION:The Revival House Perth
DESCRIPTION:Chasing Amy (MA 15+\, 1997) Presented in 35mm Film by The Revi
 val House Perth Comic book artist Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck) falls hard f
 or fellow artist Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams) after meeting her at a c
 omic convention\, only to discover she's a lesbian\, complicating his grow
 ing feelings in ways he struggles to process. As Holden and Alyssa form a 
 genuine\, deepening friendship that gradually shifts into something more\,
  their unexpected relationship forces both of them to confront their own a
 ssumptions about sexuality\, identity\, and love\, while Holden's insecuri
 ties and possessiveness—fuelled partly by jealousy over Alyssa's past—
 threaten to unravel the fragile\, unconventional connection they've built 
 together. Complicating matters further\, Holden's creative partner and clo
 se friend Banky (Jason Lee) struggles with his own discomfort watching the
 ir friendship transform into romance. Director Kevin Smith delivers his mo
 st emotionally ambitious work\, trading the broader comedy of his earlier 
 films for a genuinely thoughtful examination of love\, sexuality\, and pos
 sessiveness. Ben Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams bring raw vulnerability to 
 Holden and Alyssa\, grounding the film's frank conversations about sexuali
 ty and relationships in genuine emotional stakes rather than mere provocat
 ion. Smith's dialogue-driven approach\, a hallmark of his View Askewnivers
 e films\, finds unexpected depth here\, using extended conversations to ex
 plore how insecurity and possessiveness can poison even genuine connection
 . The film's candid treatment of sexual fluidity and identity was consider
 ed groundbreaking for mainstream American independent cinema at the time\,
  while its unflinching examination of jealousy and emotional immaturity gi
 ves the romance genuine complexity beyond typical genre conventions. Origi
 nal format and audio experience of this film faithfully reproduced by The 
 Revival House. Presented in 35mm film unless noted otherwise. When: Sunday
 \, October 4th at 7:00PM Where: The Revival House at the Como Theatre Rati
 ng: MA 15+ (Sexual references\, High level coarse language) Smith's most e
 motionally ambitious film explores love\, identity\, and possessiveness wi
 th genuine depth—experience this indie landmark on 35mm film.\n\nBoletos
