Former GI employee Stephanie Kurtz Mascis presents this fundraiser screening of Brian De Palma’s phantasmagorical glam rock musical. This modernized mix of Phantom, Faust, and The Portrait of Dorian Gray follows humiliated composer Winslow Leach on his path of vengeance. This is in my top ten favorite movies of all time, and should you find yourself renting the DVD from Scarecrow Video, peep the sticker of who sponsored it. (Hint: me.)
