To celebrate the October 4th Blu-ray release of Jackie Brown (including new features and extras), Film Independent will be screening the legendary third film by director Quentin Tarantino. His adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s crime novel Rum Punch centers on a genre-shattering recasting of the lead character with ‘70s black film icon Pam Grier. Jackie Brown is both breathy and ballistic, with a cast that includes Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, Chris Tucker, and Robert Forster (in his Oscar nominated performance).
