L.A. STORY (1991) Screening with Director Mick Jackson

$15 General Admission / $10 Students, Seniors & Members
On the occasion of L.A. STORY'S 25th anniversary, Vidiots presents a screening of this iconic, beloved, and quintessentially Angelino comedy, followed by a Q&A with director Mick Jackson. From a brilliant script of his own, Steve Martin plays Harris K. Telemacher, a frustrated weatherman emotionally drowning in the shallow end of the L.A. "scene." When glimmers of meaning and hope begin to reveal themselves to Telemacher through a freeway "traffic condition" sign and a beautiful newcomer, the adventure really begins. Like a good-hearted roast, L.A. STORY'S Tinsel Town critique - hilariously blasting everything from traffic to predictable weather patterns - is also a love letter to our sprawling, idiosyncratic, magical City of Angels. In his four-star review, Roger Ebert hailed L.A. STORY as "a light-hearted fantasy that asks us to accept one small possibility, and promises us we may find contentment if we keep an open mind. I was reminded of the films of Jacques Tati, in which, calmy, serenely, an endless series of comic invention unfolds."
