From its controversial release to its current status as a classic crime thriller and hip-hop film, New Jack City is a gritty look at NYC’s crack epidemic, centered on drug kingpin Nino Brown and streetwise cop Scotty Appleton. Director Mario Van Peebles’ low-budget smash created a widespread influence on film, music and American vernacular, bolstered by breakthrough performances from young stars Wesley Snipes, Ice-T and Chris Rock.

Ben Apatoff is the author of the Bloomsbury 33 1/3 series book Body Count (33 1/3), the first-ever book about Ice-T’s hardcore band famous for revolutionary songs like “There Goes the Neighborhood” and “Cop Killer.” He will introduce the film with a brief discussion of Ice-T’s acting career, and books will be available for sale before and after the screening.

Starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Mia Farrow, Robert Mitchum, Peggy Ashcroft, Pamela Brown

When Leonora (Elizabeth Taylor) crosses paths in London with Cenchi (Mia Farrow), the two are instantly drawn to each other, finding striking resemblances to their departed loved ones. In Leonora, Cenchi is convinced she has found her mother returned; in Cenchi, Leonora sees an opportunity to save a child as she was unable to do for her own. Posting up in Cenchi’s decadent home, Leonora plays the part of a high society eccentric, all too eager to be draped in feathers and furs. But when sleazy stepdad Albert (Robert Mitchum) starts hanging around, she finds the damage may be too deep for the fantasy to continue.

As the years pass, unusual circumstances test the enduring love of Pedro and Tita.
