Join us as we discuss John Carpenter’s cult classic from 1981, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. 🍎 This film features Kurt Russell in one of his most iconic roles--Snake Plissken-- a World War III hero, a bank robber, and the only man capable of rescuing the US president from THE maximum security prison Manhattan has become in this dystopian science fiction thriller. Carpenter's vision is dark, stylistically New Wave, and an inimitable slice of the early, the *real*, 1980's. We certainly did enjoy watching and re-watching this gem and discussing it! No John Carpenter film would be complete without a taste of his own musical synth-future stylings: https://youtu.be/Q3_QOVaBA98 🎹
