Paul Newman's West presented by Ethan Hawke

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Ethan Hawke will join us live to introduce this screening.

In this, his first Western, the up-and-coming Hollywood star Paul Newman brought a method-acting approach to the part of Billy The Kid. Directed by television veteran Arthur Penn in his feature debut and adapted from a Gore Vidal play, this film was too experimental and arty for most American audiences, but, of course, the bohemians and the French New Wavers loved it, and it is now seen as an essential link between old and new Hollywood.
