Garden Cinema introduction:
In Between the Lines Joan
Micklin Silver (herself a former reporter for the Village Voice)
creates a lived-in portrait of the smoky dive bars, record stores, pawn
shops and strip clubs frequented by a ragtag group of broke but
passionate journalists in the dying days of their alternative newspaper.
Featuring debut performances from John Heard, Joe Morton, Marilu
Henner, Raymond J. Barrie, and Jeff Goldblum (to name just a few), Between The Lines is
a top-tier 1970s hangout movie, offering a comedic take on the
importance of fighting for what’s important to you when the sticks are
down.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
