Easy Rider
Director: Dennis Hopper Run Time: 95 min. Format: 35mm Film Release Year: 1969

Friday Film Matinee!
Indisputably one of Hopper’s greatest achievements as a filmmaker, actor, and cultural icon, EASY RIDER follows the cross-country road trip of two shaggy hippies (Fonda and Hopper) and their free-spirited lawyer companion (Nicholson).
The Friday Film Matinee is an ongoing program at The Brattle featuring special screenings of 35mm prints on Friday afternoons. We know that seeing a film on 35mm is worth skipping class or leaving work early for so come play hooky with us as we celebrate the magic of ‘reel film’ at The Brattle!

“It succeeds where it matters most, in communicating a yearning vision of a different way of life, in an America seen as a vast, unexplored repository of beauty, optimism and adventure.” – Tom Milne, Sight & Sound
This program is funded in part by The Brattle’s 35mm Film Fund. Donations to this fund maintain our film projection equipment, train future projectionists, and ensure that The Brattle will be able to continue 35mm screenings well into the future.
