The American Astronaut
20011 hr 31 min35mm
A midnight movie that captivated audiences at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT is a black-and-white space western that fuses deadpan comedy, surreal musical numbers, and lo-fi science fiction into a wholly original vision. Written, directed, and starring Cory McAbee, the film follows an interplanetary trader navigating a rustic, far-flung solar system populated by eccentric characters and strange bargains. Presented on a brand-new 35mm print, THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT transforms genre conventions into something dreamlike, witty, and unmistakably independent.
