The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and The Austin Film Festival present the Made inTexas Film Series, six movies made by Texans or in Texas, or both. The series runs the second Wednesday of every month through September of 2009.
A PERFECT WORLD
September 9, 7:30 pm
Writer/director John Lee Hancock in attendance.
A ...Perfect World, set in 1963, tells the story of eight year old Phillip, the son of a devout Jehovah’s Witness, who is taken hostage by prison escapee, Butch Haynes (Kevin Costner). The two take the Texas backroads on the run from Police Chief Red Garnett (Clint Eastwood) in his sleek Populux Airglide trailer or “mobile command headquarters.” Butch and Phillip form a strong bond that echoes a father-son relationship that neither character has. Often overlooked in Eastwood’s directing cannon, A Perfect World is one of his most cinematic and honest films the filmmaker has ever made. Cahiers du Cinema named A Perfect World as the best film of 1993. Directed by Clint Eastwood. Written by John Lee Hancock. Also starring Laura Dern, T.J. Lowther, Ray McKinnon, and Bradley Whitford, A Perfect World was shot in and around Austin and LockhartRead More
