Description

After decades in prison, stagecoach robber Bill Miner (Richard Farnsworth, The Straight Story, Tom Horn) emerges in 1901 a free man without a place in 20th-century society. Times have changed, but in the face of all these changes, neither his good-humored patience nor his joy of life has abandoned him. With the vigor of a teenager, Miner sees a screening of one of the first films, The Great Train Robbery, and is inspired to once again do what he does best. Filmed with the beautiful Pacific Northwest as a backdrop, The Grey Fox is a rare and touching yarn exploring and unravelling a greatly likable and unlikely hero. Beautifully shot by Frank Tidy (The Duellists) and wonderfully directed by Phillip Borsos (The Mean Season), The Grey Fox is a richly satisfying film experience considered by most as one of the greatest Canadian films of all time.

Description

This terrifying reworking of the 1971 horror fave boasts an appropriately creepy performance by Crispin Glover as the lonely and quirky title character who befriends a rat named Socrates and, eventually, lots of his furry friends. The put-upon Willard calls on his rodent army to attack when his boss (R. Lee Ermey) harasses him one time too many. Laura Elena Harring, Jackie Burroughs, Ashlyn Gere also star in this whisker-laden shockfest. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English.
