Film/Video A TRIBUTE TO BOB FOSSE STAR 80 DIRECTED BY BOB FOSSE FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2002, 8 PM $7 ($5 WALKER MEMBERS) AUDITORIUM A TRIBUTE TO BOB FOSSE AUGUST: 28 | 29 | 30 Part biopic, part exploitation film, and part mockumentary, Star 80 is the true Hollywood story of innocent Dairy Queen employee Dorothy Stratten (a frequently soft-focused Mariel Hemingway), who became Playboy's 1979 Playmate of the Year. Like Lenny, the film begins with the central character's death and recollects fragments of his history. Part-time promoter and pimp Paul Snider (Eric Roberts, in a heated performance) discovered her, swept her off her feet, pushed her into modeling, married her, and ultimately killed her. A story of lust and greed, Star 80 focuses on Snider's drive for success and his jealousy rather than questioning the ethics of pornography or Stratten's objectification. "Devastating, violent, hopeless, and important . . . it holds a mirror up to a part of the world we live in and helps us see it more clearly. . . . Like Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, it is a movie about being an outsider and about going crazy with the pain of rejection," says Roger Ebert. 1983, U.S., color, 35mm, 102 minutes.
