After opening our festival with a trip back to the 1990s, we close with a special outdoor screening of what Rolling Stone Magazine say was that decade's Number 1 Film: Goodfellas

 

1990 | USA | 145 MINS

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.”

Martin Scorsese’s woozy, dizzy adaptation of Nicholas Pileggi’s slice-of-Mafia-life book Wiseguy is many things: a social anthropology study, an epic look at the American Dream, a coked-up nightmare, a nostalgic look back at an age when made men were made men, a head-spinning display of virtuosic filmmaking, the blueprint for the modern organized-crime saga and a peerless look at a world where you might be slapped on the back or shot in the face. 

Its influence is incalcuable – you don’t get a million moving-camera showstoppers without that Copacabana tour, and you definitely don’t get the Tarantino, et al., mix of black humor and horrifying violence without Goodfellas‘ getting that combination down to a science first. There are movies that may be more emblematic of the Nineties, but this was the one that set the pace for the entire decade.

  • Please bring a folding chair or blanket to sit on.
  • Summer evenings can be chilly so make sure to wear appropriate clothing.
  • Screening will be relocated to Skibbereen Town Hall in the event of poor weather.
