MBFF Presents ~ AMERICAN STAR @ 7pm

  • Vogue Theater 3290 Sacramento Street San Francisco, CA, 94115 United States (map)

This is a thriller with a heart about an aging paid assassin (the great Ian McShane), a perennial loner who travels to picturesque Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, to carry out a final deadly mission. But complications delay him, and, as he waits, he becomes involved with some islanders and even falls in love. (Nice surprise: His paramour’s mother is played by the ageless French actress Fanny Ardant.) He experiences a moral dilemma: Does he go through with the hit or retire? The film is tense in the way of the best thrillers, and the tension persists throughout. It is also beautiful to look at.
