L.I.E. put a 16-year-old Paul Dano on the map as a grieving Long Island teen drawn into a dangerous bond with an older ex-Marine played by Brian Cox, and it remains one of the most unsettling American indies of its era. This 25th-anniversary screening brings director Michael Cuesta in for a talk after the film. If you know Dano from There Will Be Blood and never saw where he started, catch it here.
What to expect
A 108-minute feature in Roxy Cinema's intimate basement theater, followed by a moderated conversation with Cuesta. Expect a festival crowd of film lovers and a heavy, adult story.
