The Amusement Park w/SLIP

DESCRIPTION

This disquieting allegory from George A. Romero-commissioned by a Lutheran group to bring attention to the plight of seniors, and ultimately shelved-follows an elderly gentleman (Lincoln Maazel) looking for a day’s distraction at a fairground, who’ll be anything but entertained as he’s systematically exploited, ignored, and cruelly abused by the park’s occupants. Long-thought-lost project was shot in the Pittsburgh suburbs with a largely nonprofessional cast. 54 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
