Director Alex Ross Perry will be at Nitehawk for a Q&A on 10/27 following the 7pm show! 

A complex, intimate, and highly idiosyncratic comedy, LISTEN UP PHILIP is a literary look at the triumph of reality over the human spirit.

Anger rages in Philip as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel. He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley, and his own indifference to promoting the novel. When Philip’s idol, Ike Zimmerman, offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject—himself.
