Jonathan Demme made his directorial debut with this women-in-prison flick for Roger Corman's New World Pictures. A beautiful petty criminal is thrown into the penal hell of Connorville. Here she must fight against ruthless inmates and even more cruel, corrupt and depraved officials to survive. Tongue-in-cheek, though not enough to put off its target exploitation audience. Barbara Steele plays the wheelchair-bound warden. Music by John Cale. "...entertaining in a trashy way... there's an unusually fine ensemble of incarcerated hussies" (Gerald Peary, Boston Phoenix). Jonathan Demme---USA---1974---83 mins.

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED

On paper, Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married sounds a lot like Margot at the Wedding. A beautiful star (Anne Hathaway) takes an unflattering role as a troubled, distant sister (in this case, due to drug addiction), who returns home for the wedding of her sister (Rosemarie DeWitt) and almost ruins the show by bringing long dormant issues to the surface. Written by Jenny Lumet, daughter of Sidney Lumet. Hathaway was nominated for an Oscar for her dynamic performance.

One of the most original American entertainments of the 1980s. What begins as a quirky road movie ends up as an intense, violent affair. Jeff Daniels stars as a straight-laced stockbroker whose only brush with crime turns into a bizarre series of adventures as he captures the attention of the uninhibited Melanie Griffith. With Ray Liotta, unhinged as usual.

STOREFRONT HITCHCOCK

Compelling in its simplicity, this Robyn Hitchcock performance film was designed by director Jonathan Demme to contradict all the usual expectations of a concert film without ever taking the attention away from the artist. Singer-songwriter Hitchcock, known for songs that are both sardonic and playful, performs solo and with two other musicians in a Manhattan storefront--with his back to the window rather than facing it. As people on the street look in, colored panes and other diffusions are added as Hitchcock sings and shares stories and anecdotes that are sometimes absurd, sometimes satirical, sometimes grotesque and often melancholy. Songs include "Let's Go Thundering," "I Something You," "I Don't Remember Guildford" and more. Jonathan Demme---USA---1998---77 mins.
