In the Soup
Retrospective Special Screenings
| USA | 93 MINUTES | EnglishNew York, Comedy, Drama, NY Director(s)
Directed by Alexandre Rockwell, In The Soup portrays the story of Adolpho (Steve Buscemi), who is writing a screenplay from his crumbling NYC apartment, and falling for the literal girl-next-door. In a desperate attempt to get his screenplay funded, he connects with Joe (Seymour Cassel), a shady high-roller willing to play dirty. After winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1992, the film all but disappeared and only one damaged archival print remained. Through the efforts of Factory 25 and a Kickstarter campaign, the film’s print has been restored in time for its 25th Anniversary.

Alexandre Rockwell
A skilled and celebrated filmmaker, Alexandre Rockwell is perhaps best known for his works In the Soup and 13 Moons, both starring Steve Buscemi. Rockwell’s characters are as intricate as they are flawed; he abstains from the shotgun pop of mainstream film, and, instead, he uses classical techniques and sheer creativity to tell his stories.
