This Saturday night, 951 Chung King Road once again opens its doors and lends its
venue to a new screening series programmed by Nick Toti. This
installment will feature the U.S. premiere of "the greatest movie that
never should have been made by the greatest filmmaker you've never heard
of": Zachary Oberzan's The Great Pretender.
The Great Pretender could be conveniently described as an unauthorized remake of Abbas Kiarostami’s Close-up,
but it is actually much, much more than that: an examination of the
absurdities of fame and creativity, a concert by an Elvis impersonator,
and a guided meditation through the dark corner's of Oberzan's neuroses.
It is the type of movie that descriptions can do no justice, so come
witness it for yourself!
