SCREENING

Cutter’s Way

Saturday, Mar 1 at 4:30 p.m.

Location: Bartos Screening Room

Snubbed Forever: John Heard 

Dir. Ivan Passer. 1981, 109 mins. U.S. 35mm. With Jeff Bridges, John Heard, Lisa Eichhorn. Ivan Passer’s gripping neonoir gave Heard the meatiest role of his career, a performance of remarkable, implosive rage. He plays Cutter, a broken-down, one-eyed Vietnam veteran determined to exact revenge on the death of a young woman whose body is discovered by his friend Bone (Bridges). Although no one can be sure who the murderer is, Cutter’s conspiracy theories lead them to believe a local tycoon is responsible. Initially buried by its studio, this trickily ambiguous thriller feels like an elegy for the seventies and was later recouped as one of the best films of its era.
