Richard Linklater Introduces & Discusses THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE (1984)

At Austin Film Society our Jewels In The Wasteland series continues through the first week of June. Here, AFS Artistic Director Richard Linklater joins me to discuss 1984’s THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE, a film that with its intense, method performances and emphasis on deep characterization was very much out of step with a Hollywood that had gone all out for the likes of GHOSTBUSTERS and BEVERLY HILLS COP. Enjoy.
