“Shot on location in rural southeastern Ohio . . . Spring Night brings poetry to its death-trap portrait of small-town America. . . . Carl and Jessie, the eldest children in an extended brood, see the grinding trajectory of their lives laid out: from carefree youth to embittered adulthood to forgotten old age. . . . Hungering for escape, they rebel against the ties that bind them to this place and to each other through an illicit act of love” (Paul Malcolm). This lost-and-found classic of American independent cinema is presented in the director’s original cut.
Part of the UCLA Festival of Preservation at BAMPFA.
Free gallery admission with same-day film ticket!
