ABOUT THE FILMS:

A BOY AND HIS DOG, 1975, Dir. L.Q. Jones, 91 mins, AGFA, USA

We all knew The Bomb would bring barren landscapes, pillaging hordes and a nightmare post-society — but who foresaw telepathic dogs and underground sex carnivals run by clown-faced townies? Sci-fi scribe Harlan Ellison did in A BOY AND HIS DOG, adapted for the screen by veteran character actor L.Q. Jones. The film’s comedic vision is once removed from most others, as its action takes place after World War IV(!), indicating a wry resignation to the inevitability of a WWIII.

FORMAT: DCP

A lowlife drifter who sells used cars in a Texas burg robs the local bank and gets involved with two women: one bad, one innocent. Based on Charles Williams’ 1952 novel Hell Hath No Fury.
