This fall, the Athena presents Déjà View: Cult Classics Film Series. Shock value may have put these films on the map but their lasting relevance is a testament to a deeper resonance. There is more to these films than sex, violence and potty humor. These films are about, by and for the outsiders. Each in its own way, these films celebrate the freak and delight in the different. And they do so with pride, triumph and joy, and a fair amount of filth and fun.
The fifth film in this series is Edward Scissorhands. Left in isolation when his inventor and father passes away, a gentle young man with scissors for hands lives in a castle on a hill. A door-to-door Avon saleswoman finds him and welcomes him into her home in suburbia. Edward’s sweet nature and artistic talents help him make friends but he suffers at the hands of some cruel neighbors who label him an outcast.
“Simple, funny, gorgeous, sad, and sweet, perfect for playing over and over.”- Lawrence O’Tool, Entertainment Weekly
