\nMicroscope Gallery is pleased to present a rare screening of Amos Poe’s black and white 1991 film “Triple Bogey on a Par Five Hole”. The film, which marked Poe’s return to personal filmmaking after a stint in Hollywood, was described by Vincent Candy in a 1992 New York Times review as “…\u00a0a sweetly demented original, a shaggy-dog story told with utmost gravity, with unself-conscious references to other movies”. Triple Bogey<\/em> stars Eric Mitchell (who was the lead in “The Foreigner”), Daisy Hall, Robbie Coltrane, and\u00a0Philip Seymour Hoffman in his film debut. The year the film was released, Poe told Joel Rose in an interview for BOMB Magazine<\/span><\/a><\/strong>: “I think of this as a very American film. A very New York film. It\u2019s very much an experimental narrative” and also “I got to make a documentary within a narrative. The truth hidden in the lie.” Amos Poe will introduce the film and a Q&A with the writer\/director will follow the screening.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Triple Bogey<\/em> is one of the best films ever made about brats… it’s a radical alternative to the NY movie as we know it… hypnotically poised stasis and muted irony are the order of the day, with a monochrome Manhattan providing a beautiful pivot for a voyage around the void. Languidly witty, beautifully shot and splendidly acted, it wears its downtown chic with transfixing grace… it is a magical exercise in stylistic and intellectual tail-chasing that’s entirely of its kind, and that rare thing these days \u2014 a film that dares to go nowhere.” \u2014 Jonathan Romney, TimeOut<\/span><\/p>\n
