Warren Oates: Hired Hand
July 1 - 7, 2016
Oates is an ex–bounty hunter enlisted by Millie Perkins’s mystery woman to lead her on a surreal, menacing journey to god knows where—until they’re accosted by Jack Nicholson’s black-clad gunslinger. Monte Hellman’s cult-classic crypto-oater plays something like a Western crossed with Last Year at Marienbad.
An air of surreal dread permeates every frame of Monte Hellman’s experimental acid Western. Oates is an ex–bounty hunter who, with his faithful but none-too-bright partner (Will Hutchins), is recruited by a mystery woman (Millie Perkins) to lead her on an unexplained journey through the desert. Adrift in a sunbaked wasteland, the trio tramps onward toward god knows what—until they’re accosted by Jack Nicholson’s sinister, black-clad gunslinger. Financed by an uncredited Roger Corman, this cult-classic crypto-oater plays something like a Western crossed with Last Year at Marienbad—all leading up to a brain-bending final sequence.
