Mikey And Nicky - Elaine May (USA, 1976, 1h 59m)

***“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.** -- *Write-up by the Austin Film Society* [Film Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL6ufL0xPjQ) [Tickets can be bought online at this link.](https://austinfilmsociety.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a3CUQ00000VmjH72AJ) [Tarantino on the film](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DpKo-JrNho) **Meetup Ratings:** Rating system on meetup is meant for rating our meetup event and not the quality of the movie.
