Hard Times

Friday, June 1 - Saturday, June 2, 2012

35mm print “Walter Hill (The Warriors) made a very impressive transition from screenwriter to director with this Depression story of a street fighter (Charles Bronson) and his promoter (James Coburn) trying to eke out a life in New Orleans. Hill’s thoughtful handling of the moral issue—survival versus friendship—and his subtle, evocative camerawork make Hard Times about one hundred times better than it should be.” – Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
