New England Premiere
A Burlington Film Society Presentation
This "recycled movie" plays as the supreme montage, the ultimate supercut, and a great piece of renegade filmmaking. Pálfi, the unpredictable director of Hukkle and Taxidermia, has assembled a narrative feature consisting entirely of footage from other films, using clips from more than 450 different movies and television series. But what could have been just a cheeky gimmick turns out to be a brilliant distillation of cinema's tropes, truisms and subtexts. By stitching together our shared cinematic experiences, our darkened theater collective dreams, Pálfi has created a fascinating illustration of the continuity of storytelling in film. The Burlington Film Society is delighted to present a rare screening of this kaleidoscopic love letter to the movies, Final Cut: Ladies & Gentlemen.
