About this product
A prolific filmmaker who explored documentary, narrative, and experimental cinema, Pat Rocco captured the essence of queer culture in the late 1960s and early '70s, when it was still largely ignored by the popular media. Having achieved notoriety in the gay underground, Rocco expected his third feature to cross over to general audiences. A West Coast response to Midnight Cowboy, Drifter observes the odyssey of an emotionally ambivalent bisexual hustler (Joed Adair) as he wanders through a series of relationships with men and women, yearning for a sense of belonging in a Southern California characterized by impersonal pick-ups and S*x for hire. Playful and irreverent, Rocco's films could also be disarmingly earnest and sensitive and might have found a greater audience had not serious gay narratives remained such a stubborn cultural taboo. As it was, Rocco's breakthrough film failed to receive commercial distribution, and for decades Drifter remained virtually unseen. Fifty years later, Kino Cult celebrates Rocco's magnum opus with a 2K restoration from the original 16mm A/B negatives preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, setting the stage for a reappraisal of Rocco's eclectic and historically significant body of work.

L.A. bartenders and wannabe online auteurs Frankie (Maya Hawke) and Jake (Nat Wolff) think they've found their jackpot when they capture charismatic luddite activist Link (Andrew Garfield) going off on a captivated mall crowd. After the video goes viral and the trio set up a channel, the need to top themselves, the slickness of their handlers, and their triangular romantic tension mean there'll be unfollows to follow. Gia Coppola's satire co-stars Jason Schwartzman, Johnny Knoxville. 94 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
Small-town waitress Sally Kelton (Sally Forrest) thought her one-nighter with jazzman Steve Ryan (Leo Penn) was true love, so she pulled up stakes and followed him to his next gig. After being let down hard, she appreciated the kind attentions of veteran/entrepreneur Drew Baxter (Keefe Brasselle)... but the discovery she was with Ryan's child set up tragic complications. Social drama from Ida Lupino, who produced and completed the directing chores for the credited and stricken Elmer Clifton.
