Philip Hartman’s NO PICNIC

Hudson Square

This 4K restoration of Philip Hartman's 1986 film captures the scuzzy, electric East Village on the edge of Reagan-era gentrification. Shot in gorgeous black-and-white by cinematographer Peter Hutton, it follows a jukebox operator through dive bars and cheap tenements in search of a mystery woman, with a cast that includes Steve Buscemi and Richard Hell.
