Lucky (15)

— ,Barbican Cinema 2 & 3
Lucky

John Carroll Lynch's debut is at once a love letter to the life and career of Harry Dean Stanton as well as a meditation on mortality, loneliness, spirituality, and human connection.

Lucky follows the spiritual journey of Lucky (Harry Dean Stanton), a cantankerous, self-reliant 90 year old atheist, and the quirky characters that inhabit the Arizona town where he lives. Having out-lived and out-smoked all of his contemporaries, the fiercely independent Lucky finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self-exploration, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment.

On the big screen, director John Carroll Lynch has worked with such legendary filmmakers as the Coen Brothers, David Fincher, Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese. Now, with Lucky, Lynch has moved behind the camera to make his directorial debut. The cast also features director David Lynch (Twin Peaks), Ron Livingston (The Conjuring), Ed Begley Jr.(St. Elsewhere), and Tom Skerritt (Alien, Top Gun, Contact).
