If you liked the paydirt in No Country for Old Men, Eagle Pennell’s legendary humourous Texan saga of two natural born losers is a classic cult movie.

It caused a sensation on the festival circuit but was frozen out of distribution by Hollywood moguls.

Its fate inspired Robert Redford to set up Sundance as an Indy showcase and this screening is the first in the UK for 30 years.

Also The King of Texas: a wry look at Eagle Pennell’s tumultuous life and the movies he never realised.
