Film: Heat
Presented at AFI Silver Theater

Wed, Apr 9, 6:30 pm
One show only! Montgomery College @ AFI discussion with Prof. David Rothman

Hollywood icons Pacino and De Niro onscreen together for the first time in this highly intelligent and suspenseful thriller from Oscar-nominated director Michael Mann (LAST OF THE MOHICANS, COLLATERAL). Pacino's seasoned L.A. detective is obsessed with tracking master thief De Niro who wants to make one last score before retirement. Mann weaves their two stories together, setting the noisy action of pursuit against the quiet humanity of the moment, when detective meets thief face-to-face. Mann’s legendary attention to detail is reflected in the film’s intensive use of locations, from Kate Mantilini’s influential Beverly Hills restaurant to the original Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank, as well as forays into Koreatown, the Los Angeles Harbor and the grounds of LAX for the film’s expressionist conclusion. DIR/SCR/PROD Michael Mann; PROD Art Linson. US, 1995, color, 188 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles. RATED R
