Metro Cinema Society: The Night is Young (Quentin Crisp)

The Night is Young (Quentin Crisp)

“In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast.” - Quentin Crisp

Nary a man had so captured the heart of New York, let alone the world, as Mr. Crisp did. Not hitting the big time until long after most people are considered old, Mr. Crisp’s life goes to prove that those who roam the planet the longest often have the best stories. Join us for this night of film that considers the idea that the best might still be to come, not matter what age you find yourself.

Bar opens at 7pm, film starts at 8pm.
