It's Parker Posey season! The 1995 cult classic gets a new 4k restoration and returns to the big screen.
Party Girl tells the story of Mary (Parker Posey), a NYC nightclub scenester and social butterfly who rules the underground party scene. By day, however, she lacks purpose and enough funds to make rent. When her aunt gets her a job at the local library, Mary initially waffles under the constraints of the system, but then unexpectedly flourishes as a librarian (and does a lot of growing up along the way). The film features a laundry list of notable actors, including Liev Schreiber, Guillermo Diaz (Scandal), and John Ventimiglia (The Sopranos), and is brilliantly shot on location in pre-gentrification Lower Manhattan.
"What has made the film so timeless is, of course, the titular party girl herself—the whip-smart, hilariously self-obsessed, loose-living firecracker that is Mary." - Vogue, from the article '25 Years Later, the Makers of Party Girl Reflect on the Cult Film’s Fashion Legacy'
