James Franco’s book of short stories is the basis of
Francis Ford-grandchild Gia Coppola’s debut directing a feature. With his
childhood in mind, Franco painted a picture of the Californian town and the sex,
drugs and disaffectedness of its teenagers. Don’t try to claim you’re not
curious!

Tonight’s Best Parties:
Only Lovers Left
Alive Premiere Party
Whether you saw Jim Jarmusch’s grimy vampire love story or
not, you’re probably not willing to pass up the opportunity to eyeball the
statuesque and other-worldly Tilda Swinton in the flesh. Party at The
Courthouse with Toronto rockers The Sadies.
Horns Cast Party
Daniel Radcliffe and Juno Temple star in the Vancouver-shot
fantasy about a man whose body starts to transform after a drunken night – and
not for the better! AMC Storys is the place to be (we hope Radcliffe parties in
those horns!).
Goodnight Gansevoort
If what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, does what happens
at C Lounge (a.k.a. the annual Las Vegas Gansevoort pop-up) stay at C Lounge?
With the Hateship Loveship after party on the bill, Kristen Wiig and Guy Pearce
might just be milling around the mock casino and poolside cabanas.
A Clockwork Orange
Horror fans will fall hard for this Kubrick-inspired fete at
Adelaide Hall, a phantasmagoric mélange of installations, spooky figures, light
play and, of course, danceable turntable tunes. All droogs in attendance can
enjoy live music by Weaves and Omhouse.
