A strait-laced businessman meets a quirky, free-spirited woman at a downtown New York greasy spoon and they embark on a capricious interstate road trip that brings the two face to face with their hidden selves. Featuring electric performances from Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liotta tearing up the screen in a terrifying, destabilising way…an all time great debut.SOMETHING WILD is an idiosyncratic, genre bending cult classic from American auteur Jonathan Demme - a blend of screwball comedy, road movie, yuppie nightmare and psychological thriller with an off-kilter, killer, eclectic soundtrack featuring The Feelies (performing live), David Byrne, The Motels, New Order, Oingo Boingo, Big Audio Dynamite and Fine Young Cannibals.
It’s a transgressive, romantic, life affirming work with one of the greatest tonal shifts in the history of cinema. Arguably Jonathan Demme’s central work and one of best American movies of the 1980s.
