One night only! New York independent animator Bill Plympton joins Nitehawk in presenting his new animated feature, Cheatin’, that will be shown as a “work in progress.”
In a fateful bumper car collision, Jake and Ella meet and become the most loving couple in the long history of Romance. But when a scheming “other” woman drives a wedge of jealousy into their perfect courtship, insecurity and hatred spell out an untimely fate. With only the help of a disgraced magician and his forbidden “soul machine”, Ella takes the form of Jake’s numerous lovers, desperately fighting through malfunction and deceit as they try to reclaim their destiny.
This is the rare chance to watch Bill Plympton’s tenth feature film, Cheatin, as a work-in-progress animated feature and to fill-out feedback response cards. Plympton will also be in-house to do an introduction to the film and a post-screening Q&A.
Starring: Michael Rooker, Tracy Arnold, Tom Towlers
When we meet Henry (Michael Rooker) he has left carnage in his wake – piles of bodies in all forms, though often female. Landing in Chicago, he moves in with ex-prison buddy Otis (Tom Towles), whose sister Becky (Tracy Arnold) is also seeking shelter, escaping her abusive husband. Otis easily follows the violence that Henry unleashes, with Becky catching only the charming side of Henry.
Decades after its release, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer remains a shocker, grimy and matter-of-fact in its depiction of a psychopath who kills just as easily as he might eat a meal. The film also introduced the world to Michael Rooker, an intense presence who embodies Henry with a simmering rage.
