Among the abundance of great content available on the film streaming site Kanopy (available through our eLibrary) are a number of gems from the Nineties. Spanning a wide variety of genres, here is a sampling of what is available.
Glengarry Glen Ross
1992
1hr 40min
Adapted from his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Glengarry Glen Ross shows David Mamet at his searing, profane best. A group of Chicago real-estate salesmen-cum-con artists live on the edge. Life is good for the one on a roll. For the rest, life hangs in the balance. There is no room for losers. A-B-C: Always Be Closing, sell or go under, is the salesman’s mantra. With the pressure on, so begins a rainy night of cutthroat business and shattered lives. (Adapted from Kanopy).
Night On Earth
1993
2hr 08min
In one night, across the world, five taxi drivers experience five very different rides. In LA, a flustered agent recognises star quality in her driver, while New York in all its glory defeats a new American. A Parisian taxi driver learns the real meaning of discrimination, and a rollicking ride through Rome has repercussions for the clergy. And finally, a trio of drunken Finns make a typically humorous end to their night. (Adapted from Kanopy).
