12. The Adventure of Faustus Bidgood.
We caught a screening of The Adventure of Faustus
Bidgood (Andy and Michael Jones,
1986), a cult classic comedy which was also the first feature film made
entirely in Newfoundland by Newfoundlanders.
Adam and
Michael, who had seen it before, took
Chris to see it for the first time. Was it
too Newfoundlandic for him? Would it play as well for audiences who weren't at
least Newfoundland-adjacent? We discussed all this and more immediately after
the screening.
[We won’t link to it, but you can find the film on YouTube. Adam’s article on
the movie from the Newfoundland Quarterly is, sadly, not
available online. Also check out these
two
tributes to the late Michael Jones.]
