See this film: True Romance @fter midnight at the Coolidge

Tony Scott may have directed it, but True Romance (1993) might be Quentin Tarantino's best movie. He wrote the screenplay about a dorky guy, not unlike himself, who falls in love with a hip sex worker, grabs a suitcase full of cocaine, and takes on all comers. Sounds dumb, but it glints with brilliant, hilarious dialogue. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette star, and Dennis Hopper as the hero's dad has a scene with Christopher Walken that's equaled only by the one in which he wears the gas mask in Blue Velvet. The Coolidge is at 290 Harvard St, Brookline | Friday, November 4 @ midnight | $9 | coolidge.org.
