New Hollywood Maverick: Wild Bill Richert
January 21-22
FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER
WELCOMES WILLIAM RICHERT

"A bold, brash uncompromising figure in the tradition of Orson Welles and John Cassavetes, William Richert burst on to the Hollywood scene near the end of the storied 1970s, first as a screenwriter and then as director of the dazzling conspiracy opus Winter Kills. A critical triumph abandoned by its studio, the movie set the tone for Richert’s career to come—a quartet of highly original, idiosyncratic American features that have maintained an almost clandestine existence, subject to poor distribution and myriad unauthorized versions.
