Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel
Anybody who's worth a fuck that made a movie during the last third of the 20th century got his start with Roger Corman. Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert De Niro, and Martin Scorsese all launched their careers working on one of the producer-director's low-budget films. A bunch of those people — as well as Quentin Tarantino, William Shatner, and Ron Howard — talk about the Little Shop of Horrors auteur in this fun documentary, which is stuffed with clips from some of his greatest achievements. At the Cinematheque at 9:20 p.m. Thursday, March 8, and 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 9. — Michael Gallucci
