Warren Oates: Hired Hand
July 1 - 7, 2016
Oates is the oddest among a band of oddballs—including Peter Fonda, Harry Dean Stanton, Burgess Meredith, Margot Kidder, and cult actress Sylvia Miles—populating the backwaters of Key West, Florida, in this surreally entertaining, deadpan seriocomedy.
This wonderfully weird, deadpan portrait of outsiders and oddballs living in Key West, Florida, stars Peter Fonda as a wannabe fishing guide who finds himself drawn into a dangerous rivalry with Oates’s crusty, irascible backwaters boatman. The combination of the offbeat cast—also including Harry Dean Stanton, Burgess Meredith, a pre–Lois Lane Margot Kidder, and cult actress Sylvia Miles—delivering deliciously florid dialogue in the sun-blasted setting makes for a one-of-a-kind, surreally entertaining seriocomedy that eschews any discernible narrative structure in favor of a loose-limbed, lo-fi quirkiness.
