Ralph Bakshi’s American Pop – the 1981 animated musical film – at the Guild Cinema!
Saturday, June 15 – 10:30 pm Only!
Directed by Ralph Bakshi – 1981 – 96m – A 94 Rock and Cat & Cobra special screening!
The 94 Rock Late Night Flicks in collaboration with local CAT AND COBRA returns to our screen with a journey into an explosion of sight, sound, song and superb storytelling as brilliantly conceived by animation innovator Ralph Bakshi (Fritz the Cat, The Lord of the Rings, Wizards). From a turn-of-the-century immigrant vaudevillian to a rock superstar, American Pop is the story of four generations whose lives revolve around the beat of American popular music. Featuring a mind-blowing soundtrack bursting with the hit music of The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Mamas & The Papas, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pat Benatar, Lou Reed, Bob Seger and more. Packed with energy, excitement, electricity and enthusiasm, Bashki’s work is a ground-breaking, kaleidoscopic animated trip!
“This is one of those flawless wonders where every single frame is perfect.” – Michael Talbot-Haynes, Film Threat
“The entire Bakshi filmography is a campaign against business as usual, a full-on assault on the medium…” – Seth Troyer, PopMatters
