Scarface
Retrospective Special Screenings
| USA | 170 MINUTESBrian De Palma’s modernization of Howard Hawks’ 1932 classic Scarface is a somber consideration for the humanizing motives of evil men. It went on to receive three Golden Globe nominations and has become one of the most referenced films in pop culture. Al Pacino delivers his riskiest performance in a career-defining role, garnering a cult following for the film. Revisit the gangland masterpiece thirty-five years later, a rich, harrowing, eminently quotable ride to excess and self-destruction that laid the groundwork for the myriad of anti-hero stories to come.
After the Screening: a conversation with director Brian De Palma and actors Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer and Steven Bauer. Moderated by writer Jesse Kornbluth.
