NW Film Center presents DANCING OUTLAW I & II: JESCO GOES TO HOLLYWOOD at Top Down: Rooftop Cinema
Thu, Aug 1, 2013 at 7pm
- All Ages, Bar with ID
Online ticket sales have ended, but a limited amount of tickets will be sold at the door. All sales at the door are CASH ONLY.
Meet Jesco White, a hard-living tap dancer in Boone County, West Virginia, whose repeated run-ins with the law have interfered with his dream of becoming as renowned a "mountain dancer" as his late father, D. Ray White. Jesco has three distinct personalities: a sort of skinny version of the fat Elvis, the gentle and loving Jesse, and the violent and dangerous Jesco, who his wife Norma Jean warns is "the devil hisself." This hilarious and slightly exploitative peek into 20th century Appalachian life demonstrates that real life provides far more eccentric characters than the fanciest of fictions. (101 mins.)
BAND: Barry Brusseau
