Monkey Warfare Film

Got this little gem today. Looks like a good time.

We all know that bikes, trash picking and Canada go hand in hand in, well, hand. And, since we here at The Brattle are committed to bringing our audience the latest and greatest in cinematic debauchery, we are presenting, for a limited time only, MONKEY WARFARE.

Now, a bit about the film:

Friday, April 4th – Monday, April 7th
Monkey Warfare
(2006) dir Reginald Harkema w/Don McKellar, Tracy Wright, Nadia Litz
[75 min]

Since receiving grand acclaim at last year’s Independent Film Festival of Boston, MONKEY WARFARE has failed to find a U.S. distributor, not one to be stopped by such a fact, we have gone ahead and negotiated with the filmmaker to offer this premiere run of one of the most endearing of revolutionary films.

Dan (McKellar) and Linda (Wright) are a couple of forty-something ex-radicals who ride their bikes everywhere, live off the grid and maintain their pot and vinyl record habits by picking trash and selling their finds on eBay. When their usual pot dealer is busted, Dan runs across a new one, Susan (Litz) – who happens to be pretty, young, and impressionable. A sort-of love triangle develops between the three but, when Susan uncovers the secret revolutionary past of her new clients, she becomes inspired and heads down a path that has the potential to upset everyone’s lives more than any romantic entanglement could. An excellent film with three great performances, a truly outstanding soundtrack and a witty, playful script that stands above most of the quirky, perky indie films that play every year in film festivals. Winner of a Special Jury Prize at The Independent Film Festival of Boston 2007! A complete listing of the show-times can be found at www.brattlefilm.org
