TRUE ROMANCE

Love hurts! Make it a bloody Valentine’s with a 4k restoration of TRUE ROMANCE on the big screen, Thursday February 12th @ 8:00 (Finally available to theatrically show after years!) See one of cinema’s defining Cult Classics whose colorful world of crime rivals the melodrama of a broken heart. Sponsored by Newport Cannabis Company who will be in the lobby with swag and Rejects Beer Company with a beer tasting.

A comic-book nerd and Elvis fanatic Clarence (Christian Slater) and a prostitute named Alabama (Patricia Arquette) fall in love. Clarence breaks the news to her pimp and ends up killing him. He grabs a suitcase of cocaine on his way out thinking it is Alabama’s clothing. The two hit the road for California hoping to sell the cocaine, but the mob is soon after them.

Directed by Tony Scott. Written by Quentin Tarantino. A box office bomb in 1993, True Romance’s offbeat style, dialogue, and incredible cast has left it with legendary legacy. Also starring: Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Tom Sizemore, Samuel L. Jackson, and James Gandolfini.

“Tony Scott’s handling of Quentin Tarantino’s script came off like the cinematic equivalent of cocaine-flavoured bubble-gum: a bright, flavoursome confection that had an intoxicatingly violent kick.” Empire Magazine
