Nobody’s Fool – December 6, 2018. Irvington, NY.
I hope your Thanksgiving was better than Paul Newman’s holiday was in “Nobody’s Fool.” I’ll be introducing the film at its December 6 showing at Town Hall Theater in Irvington, NY. Nobody’s Fool, backdropped by abandoned houses and shuttered factories, was filmed in the winter of 1993-94, not long before Tom Rinaldi and I began photographing such buildings for what would become Hudson Valley Ruins. Beacon and Hudson, two cities which feature prominently in the movie, have undergone revitalization since then, making Nobody’s Fool itself a not-too-fictionalized snapshot of the Hudson Valley ca. mid-1990s.
Irvington Town Hall Theater,
85 Main Street, Irvington, NY.
December 6, 2018
7:00pm
Tickets $15.00
