Crossroads

Running time: 99 mins

Synopsis

A blues-themed 1986 road movie, from director Walter Hill.

Eugene Martone (Ralph Macchio, The Karate Kid) struggles with the devil and his destiny when he goes down to the Crossroads in this contemporary drama. With a potent blend of adventure, romance, and music, the film takes gifted young guitarist Martone into a dangerous and challenging new world. Obsessed with unlocking the mysteries of the blues, the fledging musician finds cantankerous Willie Brown (Joe Senaca), a master of the blues harmonica, and frees him from prison. The unlikely duo hobos from New York to Mississippi as Martone searches for runaway Frances (Jami Gertz).

With a rich mixture of Delta blues and driving rock produced by Ry Cooder, the film takes Martone and Brown on an intense odyssey that leads them to a dramatic climax at the Crossroads.

This is a free screening as part of Wotton Bluesfest. Tickets cannot be booked online, but can be reserved through our box office.
