SUMMARY:Storytelling for the Screen: Licorice Pizza (in 35mm)
LOCATION:Pollock Theater\, 34.415051\,-119.848801
DESCRIPTION:Licorice Pizza (2021) is writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson’
 s lively and earnest love letter to 1970s Los Angeles and Hollywood. A lo
 ose\, episodic coming-of-age story\, the film shifts seamlessly between i
 ntimate moments and comic detours\, returning to the obsessions that have
  defined his cinema: ambitious strivers\, eccentric outsiders\, and the s
 trange allure and nostalgia of American life. The film follows Alana Kane
  (Alana Haim) and Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) as they grow up\, fall 
 in love\, and scheme of ways to make money in the San Fernando Valley in 
 1973\, encountering aging movie stars and other restless teenagers in the
 ir orbit. Sean Penn\, Bradley Cooper\, Tom Waits\, and Benny Safdie round
  out a revolving cast of colorful characters that Gary and Alana come acr
 oss as their lives become increasingly entangled. Warm and irreverently f
 unny\, Licorice Pizza distills Anderson’s knack for expansive ensemble st
 orytelling and richly drawn characters into one of his most playful films
 .\n\nThe Carsey-Wolf Center is delighted to welcome UCSB Film and Media S
 tudies alumnus and recent Academy Award winner for Best Film Editing Andy
  Jurgensen back to the Pollock Theater for a special 35mm presentation of
  Licorice Pizza. After the screening\, Jurgensen will join moderator Ross
  Melnick (Carsey-Wolf Center\, UCSB) to discuss his work as the film’s ed
 itor.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/67d8118f-34f1-475c-a245-8034d70fa23b
