OUT OF THE BLUE
FREAKY FRIDAYS: YOUR MONTHLY FIX OF CULT FILM
"The movie escalates so relentlessly toward its violent, nihilistic conclusion that when it comes, we believe it."
—Chicago Sun-Times
"An accomplished dissection of fractured redneck family life."
—Guardian
Dennis Hopper’s hurricane-force domestic tragedy is the ’80s answer to Easy Rider, following troubled youth subculture to its frightening, screaming, self-annihilating extreme. Just out of prison for drunk-driving his truck into a school bus, delinquent dad Don (Dennis Hopper) returns home to the planet’s most messed up family: heroin-addict wife Kathy (Sharon Farrell) and self-destructive, Elvis Presley– and Sid Vicious–obsessed rebel-punk daughter Cebe (Linda Manz). Driven by the teenage Manz’s stunningly raw performance, Out of the Blue (presented in a new 4K restoration) has lost none of the furiously nihilistic power that shocked audiences upon its premiere.
