This week’s CK Café episode is a special one. We sat down with Paul Zaentz — yes, from The Talented Mr. Ripley and Amadeus — who's now serving as an Executive Producer on Backyard/Desert through his company Teatro Della Pace Films. We talk legacy, the importance of subversive films in today’s political climate, the evolution of independent film, and his family’s iconic film One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest - including some breaking news about a new adaptation of the classic film!
Paul has helped lovingly restore Cuckoo’s Nest for its 50th Anniversary! The classic film is returning to theaters July 13th & 16th across the U.S. thanks to Fathom Events. Don’t miss the chance to experience it on the big screen: Get tickets now. 🎟️
