As a hangout movie along the lines of DAZED AND CONFUSED and a soapy microcosm of America in the ’70s, CAR WASH has no peer. And what a cast: the very funny Franklyn Ajaye, Richard Pryor, the Pointer Sisters, Bill Duke, and even George Carlin. We will be joined by author Josiah Howard, whose Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide has just gone into a new edition. He will be signing copies of his book, which will be for sale in the lobby.
