A man runs a walking disco tour with his browbeaten son. Meanwhile, a slimy, inhuman maniac stalks the streets of their town. See the film The Daily Beast’s Jen Yamato called the best film of Sundance, “the entry that woke audiences up by waterboarding them with a metaphorical vat of maniacal, putrid grease.” San Francisco, let’s get greasy!
FACTOID #343
Director Sally Potter was the first person to be honored with the Festival’s Satyajit Ray Award. In 1993 she was interviewed onstage and her new film Orlando was screened. In 2005, she turned the tables by interviewing Peter J. Owens Award recipient Joan Allen.
