SCREENS MAY 16 & 28; OTHER FILMS INCLUDE STRAIGHT TIME, DOWN BY LAW, THE DEFIANT ONES
Brian De Palma's Carlito's Way is part of a curated film series this month at the Philadelphia Film Society. The series, "Pros and Cons: The After Life," also includes Ulu Grosbard's Straight Time, Stanley Kramer's The Defiant Ones, Jim Jarmusch's Down By Law, and Gerald Kargl's Angst. "Featuring some of Brian De Palma’s most exciting set pieces," reads the series' description of Carlito's Way, "Al Pacino stars as a man given a second chance after being released from a long sentence on a technicality, but he can’t seem to shake his criminal past." The film will screen May 16th, and again on the 28th.
