Greenwich Library's Cult Film Series to Screen 'Mad Max'

Greenwich Librarian Ed Morrissey’s monthly film series is devoted to bringing patrons classic cult movies both from Hollywood and around the world.

On Thursday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m., Cult Films will screen the 1979 low budget classic Mad Max. Both film buffs and ingénues are welcome.

In Mad Max, a relentless Australian policeman (Mel Gibson) sets out to avenge his partner, his wife and his son, in the classic film that inspired The Road Warrior and Fury Road. This 90-minute film is rated R.

In the course of this series, Morrissey will cover a wide sweep of genres, comedies, crime noir, horror, thrillers, musicals, spaghetti westerns, Hitchcock, Fellini and more. Greenwich Library Cult Films, through the Library’s extensive DVD collection and online hoopla service, hopes to expose these fringe films to a much wider audience.

The Cult Films Series is open to all with free admission, and is held in the Meeting Room of the library, 101 W. Putnam Ave.
