With fangs bared and claws extended, the must-be-seen-to-be-believed 1981 film Roar plays like a trippy episode of Wild Kingdom gone wrong.A nerve-racking experience fraught with the possibility of a casual mauling or deadly pounce from start to finish.
It may be one of the most insane movies you’ll ever see. Eleven years in the making and at a staggering cost of $17 million. This incoherent piece of crazy about a lunatic (Marshall, who also directed, produced, and co-wrote the film) living side-by-side with a hundred-plus, semi-domesticated but nevertheless untrained big cats in the African countryside (“I have to get as close to them as possible”) is destined to become a classic in every sense.
It’s a madhouse. Lions and tigers … and leopards and cheetahs and panthers, oh my! His wife Tippy Hedren (The Birds) and her daughter Melanie Griffith are along for the ride.
The plot isn’t important, it’s a movie thats a force of nature with a strange beauty in every frame of chaos.
The 35mm is incredibly rare and is in perfect condition, so get ready for ROAR!!!
