Description

Released only a few days after Woodstock, Arlo Guthrie, who performed at the iconic festival, stars in this bittersweet ode to the blues and the free spirited 60s adapted from his own folk song, "Alice's Restaurant Massacree". You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better time capsule from the late 60s that so purely embodies the confusion and energy of a time where fighting the establishment and changing the world brought an entire generation together. Directed by Arthur Penn (Bonnie and Clyde), Alice’s Restaurant is full of humour, emotion and hope that still resonates deeply today.
