Twenty-five years after its celebrated release, GOODFELLAS looks better than ever! The Frida Cinema is incredibly excited to kick off our 2015 Winter Fundraising and Member Drive, which will be held November 15 to December 15, by bringing you an all-new 4K scan of the film’s original camera negative, supervised by co-writer/director Martin Scorsese himself!
PLUS – our evening will open with a LIVE Musical Tribute to Goodfellas by MOVE, a collective of singers, musicians and songwriters that will be performing select songs from the film’s decades-spanning soundtrack!
The event will kick off at 7pm with opening remarks by our very special guest, Councilwoman Michele Martinez. Come early though – we’ll open doors at 6pm so you can mix and mingle with your fellow cinephiles, Frida Cinema Board Members and staff, and friends and neighbors before the show!
GOODFELLAS – the acclaimed winner of over 35 international awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Joe Pesci – is the portrait of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), a man whose American Dream involves highjacking, theft, style, and large quantities of narcotics. The film follows Henry’s upward journey and ultimate downfall, after being taken under the wing of veteran mobsters “Jimmy the Gent” (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci). Scorsese co-wrote the carefully researched screenplay with Nicholas Pileggi, incorporating ad lib contributions from the cast through a grueling rehearsal process.
Join us for this one-night-only screening event, which will mark our official Kick-Off of our 2015 Winter Fundraising and Membership Drive!
We thank Warner Bros. for making their new restoration available for this special event! This event is also made possible with support by Ollin Consulting Firm.
“No finer film has ever been made about organized crime – not even The Godfather.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“All of the performances are first-rate; Pesci stands out, though, with his seemingly unscripted manner. GoodFellas is easily one of the year’s best films.” – Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
“With patience, care, and strict attention to detail, Scorsese has staked out an impregnable position in the history of motion pictures.” – James Berardinelli, ReelViews
