Synopsis

An instant cult classic on release, this paranoid, surrealistic stoner noir stars Andrew Garfield as a layabout resident of LA who passes the time getting high and perving on his female neighbours. He soon becomes obsessed with a recent female tenant and object of his fantasies who suddenly disappears without a trace, leading him down a rabbit hole of nut job conspiracies, suspicious and wacky characters, and recurring codes and symbols that may or may not mean something.

On March 29, we’ll be screening David Robert Mitchell’s crazy, ambitious sophomore feature, UNDER THE SILVER LAKE.

An instant cult classic on release, this paranoid, surrealistic stoner noir stars Andrew Garfield as a layabout resident of LA who passes the time getting high and perving on his female neighbours. He soon becomes obsessed with a recent female tenant and object of his fantasies who suddenly disappears without a trace, leading him down a rabbit hole of nut job conspiracies, suspicious and wacky characters, and recurring codes and symbols that may or may not mean something.

Steeped in the rich history of Hollywood and wider popular culture, UNDER THE SILVER LAKE is an alternately meaningful and meaningless masterpiece that flopped on release but captivated those who saw it.
