The Big Easy at Triskel Arts Centre, 23 Jun. In crime-ridden New Orleans, two competing dons have never fought. That changes when corrupt cops start muscling in, but a prosecutor and a cop will try to stop them. Jim McBride will be present for a Q&A.
New Orleans, harbour of criminals, gateway to the drug trade, mooring place of The Mafia. Two competing dons who rule this domain have never fought each other before. That is until corrupt cops start muscling in on the action. A smooth-talking police lieutenant (Dennis Quaid) and a no-nonsense Assistant District Attorney (Ellen Barkin) team up to get to the bottom of this case. THE BIG EASY is one of the best crime thrillers of the 1980s since it blends the unique character of New Orleans, steamy romance, sultry suspense and quick-witted humour to dazzling effect.
Filmmaker Jim McBride will be in attendance for a Q&A
