This screening will include an introduction from Never Watching Movies.
Criminally underseen, this exceptional satire exposes the performative roles of New York’s upper class. A young Will Smith gives a stand-out performance as a charming and cultured conman. Claiming to be Sidney Poitier’s son, he tricks his way into the home and lives of two hapless socialites. A commentary on the fragile construction of the upper class, this clever film reveals the ridiculous tendencies of the status quo. A great cast includes Donald Sutherland, the inimitable Stockard Channing and even Gandalf!
