Monday Night Movies at the Marfa Book Co, 7PM Sharp:
Radio On... Christopher Petit, 1979, 102'
Christopher Petit's post-punk journey RADIO ON (1979) has been a cult film
since its initial release and is one of the most striking feature debuts in British
cinema - a haunting blend of edgy mystery story and existential road movie,
crammed with eerie evocations of English landscape and weather. Co-produced by Wim Wenders and featuring Sting's first film performance, RADIO ON is austere in narrative and captures the lurking disenchantment of the British youth movements of the time.
For the first time since its brief, original release, RADIO ON is available again.
The film was recently restored by the British Film Institute and enjoyed
accolades in the press as well as sold-out screenings around the UK and Europe.
