It’s time for another NOW Free Flick at The Royal, hosted by yours truly, and this month we’re getting all arty and moody with Gus Van Sant’s My Own Private Idaho.
Even for Van Sant, this one’s an oddity — a mixture of evocative indie drama, Shakespearean bombast and lazy road comedy, featuring Young Hollywood icons Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix in roles their representatives would probably rather they not have taken. It’s not one of my favorite Van Sant films, but it’s one of his, and 27 years later that’s really all that matters.
Never seen it? Come on down! Doors open at 6:30 pm, the show starts at 7:30 pm; as always, the first hundred guests get free popcorn, and everybody gets a free movie. You can find full details on our Facebook page, but that’s pretty much it.
See you there?
