DESPERADO
(1995, 104min/color, DCP) Antonio Banderas, Joaquim de Almeida, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin, Steve Buscemi, Quentin Tarantino, Danny Trejo. Directed by Robert Rodriguez.
This event includes a film screening, Q&A with filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, and a live performance by Rodriguez and his Chingon Band.
After turning the independent film world upside-down with his inventive microbudget debut EL MARIACHI, writer-director Robert Rodriguez continued the myth of the mysterious Mariachi in the follow-up DESPERADO, armed with all the explosive pyrotechnics that Hollywood studio money can buy!
A shadowy figure stalks the Mexican underworld, travelling from town to town with only a guitar case in hand; however, what El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) has on his mind isn't music, but merciless vengeance. With enough bullets up his sleeves for every bandito in his path, the guitar-playing gunslinger has his sights firmly set on taking down a powerful drug lord (Joaquim de Almeida), but only the love of a local bookstore owner (Salma Hayek) will help El Mariachi get out of town alive.
Featuring a rogues' gallery of memorable supporting turns from the likes of Danny Trejo, Steve Buscemi, Cheech Marin and Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez's instant action classic roars back onto the big screen for a 30th anniversary celebration.
VIP tickets include early access to merch and a M&G with filmmaker Robert Rodriguez.
