New Restoration!
A strange, spellbinding, and singular cinematic experience. Vittorio, a conservative and bourgeois Italian attorney (Salerno), has a day to waste in Los Angeles while in transit to Mexico City. After making his first mistake—walking—Vittorio is absorbed into the orbit of a sexy and slightly sinister group of Italian ex-pats hustling to survive in modern America. Presaging later works such as Scorsese’s After Hours and Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, this is an astounding rediscovery, gorgeously restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive.
Restored by Fondazione Cineteca Di Bologna and the UCLA Film & Television Archive in collaboration with Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. Restoration funding provided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
