Near Myth: The Oskar Knight Story
March 2, 2018 @ 7:30 PM - March 4, 2018 @ 5:30 PM
Sandwiched somewhere between This Is Spinal Tap and Sunset Boulevard, this unique biopic is the story of one of the greatest Hollywood directors that you’ve never heard of — Oskar Knight. Lenny Von Dohlen (Twin Peaks) brings this towering legend of American cinema to life. Although he is forgotten by many, he is remembered in this film by such real-life stars as Margaret O’Brien, David Suchet, Joaquim de Almeida, Kristina Anapau, Julianna Guill, Rudolf Martin, Noel Neill and Jon Provost. Director Scott Fivelson’s film is a witty and affectionate tribute to the days when movies were movies. (95 min)
