“Courier of Death” 1984
from Portland at the Movies · host Portland at the Movies
It's our first foray into legendary Portland filmmaker Tom Shaw, whose presence looms large over the Portland movie making world. Gus VanSant and Penny Allen, among many others, used Shaw's equipment to make their first films throughout the 70s and 80s. So how does Shaw rate as a filmmaker himself? Let's just say he's a glorious treasure of breathtaking cinema -- but for all the wrong reasons. "Courier of Death" is Shaw's second attempt at a film, and it's a bonkers, insane mess that is as incompetently made as it is hilarious and fun to watch. Join us as we take a deep dive not only into the movie, but into Shaw and his incomparable mark on the Portland cinema scene. The post “Courier of Death” 1984 appeared first on Portland at the Movies.
