Join us outside in the Nasher Museum Sculpture Garden for a special summer screening:

Jackie Brown
(Quentin Tarantino, 1997, 154 min, USA, Color, Digital)

Jackie Brown is adapted from the Elmore Leonard novel, Rum Punch, in which a flight attendant conspires against federal agents and a ruthless arms dealer in order to walk away with both her freedom and $550,000. But by casting Pam Grier (of 70s blaxploitation fame) in the lead, director Quentin Tarantino foregrounds the story of Jackie outsmarting a system inherently rigged against "a 44-year-old black woman." Grier and bail bondsman Robert Forster excel as wistful, world-weary characters who are a little too old for a life of crime. Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro, and Bridget Fonda also contribute arresting performances to this laid-back caper film.

Rated R for strong language, some violence, drug use and sexuality.


Seating: Bring your own cushions and blankets to spread out on the Nasher Sculpture Garden lawn.

Food and Drink: You may bring your own snacks and beverages, but please no glass bottles or containers.
