“MIKEY AND NICKY is a vivid, almost sensually rancid slice of 1970s cinema, a movie in which you can almost taste the sweat in the air.”
—The Guardian
“Cassavetes and Falk blaze a trail of trouble that, in its emotional extremes, distills a lifetime of frustrated energy into a single night.”
—The New Yorker
“To watch Cassavetes and Falk inhabit their roles is to watch two great jazz musicians riffing on a score.”
—The New York Times
You probably know Elaine May as a legend of comedic writing and direction but MIKEY AND NICKY, outside of some witty dialogue, is a surprisingly tragic story of friendship and betrayal between two old pals, played by real-life buddies Peter Falk and John Cassavetes. Haunting, harrowing, and unforgettable. New 4K restoration.
