Parker Posey in
PARTY GIRL
Members $10 | Public $15
Nineties indie queen Parker Posey is at her
effortlessly cool best in this irresistible comedy, a time capsule of the era’s
Manhattan club scene. She stars as Mary, a hard-partying downtown scenester
who, when she’s arrested for throwing an illegal rave, must take a job as a
librarian in order to pay back her bail. Can the devil-may-care Mary conquer
the Dewey decimal system while also finding love with a hunky food-cart vendor
(Omar Townsend)? Posey’s scene-stealing vintage fashions and a
soundtrack by quintessential club staples like Tom Tom Club, Deee-Lite,
and Brooklyn Funk Essentials add flavor to this Gen X classic
from director Daisy von Scherler Mayer. Also starring Liev
Schreiber and The Lady Bunny. (USA, 1995, 94min.,
color, DCP, English, R | Dir. Daisy von Scherler Mayer)
"What makes it delicious fun is Posey, a party
girl for the ages." ---- Peter Travers, Rolling
Stones
"Party Girl, a rambunctious cartoon of a movie,
creates a small but zesty inside portrait of a time-honored New York
scene-maker: the haughty young queen of the demimonde, flitting from party to
party, from dance club to dance club, gliding through the champagne night on
her looks, her clothes, her kitschy downtown élan." ---- Owen
Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
