Ishtar

Description courtesy of Philadelphia Film Society Center:
The unceremoniously received last film by one of the greatest comedians and filmmakers ever, Elaine May. ISHTAR is is a total comedic gem that overflows with chemistry between Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman playing two failed songwriters who stumble their way into an international crisis in Morocco.

Cast: Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, Isabelle Adjani, Charles Grodin

Part of the Philadelphia Film Society’s PASSION PIT series.
Inspired by the audacity and admiration for Francis Ford Coppola’s drive to bring his dreams to fruition with MEGALOPOLIS and by PFS favorites like Richard Kelly’s SOUTHLAND TALES. “Passion Pit” offers a reevaluation of daring films from beloved filmmakers that defied common sense, survived production purgatory, and brought their unadulterated artistic visions to the screen.
