Hoezo in KINO

“I have to get more pudding for this trip to Hawaii. As I just said that out loud I realize it sounded a little strange but it’s not.” Pre-Uncut Gems it was still a very bold strategy to cast Adam Sandler as the lead for any serious cinematic project. But as with Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights, PTA knew exactly what previously untapped pizzazz potential was brimming, and coupled with the classically trained and always brilliant Emily Watson, the results are truly spectacular. Love is messy, weird and wonderful. Punch-Drunk Love celebrates this in holistic fashion few other features concerned with matters of the heart, ever do. English language without subtitles. On September 3rd KINO’s visual artist Baris Azman will give a reading prior to the screening. It was an out of left-field decision to cast Adam Sandler as the lead for a kind-of romantic movie, that was kind-of based on real events and kind-of was different than anything Paul Thomas Anderson had done before. A real demarcation from his first three films, this film gave a glimpse of an artist truly came into his own. Azman will dive into PTA’s filmography, as well as the film’s many inspirations including musicals, the visual arts and dissonant music.
