Directed by Richard Shepard • 1991 • United States
Starring David Bowie, Rosanna Arquette, Marlee Matlin
A brilliantly bizarro, lost-and-found gem of early-1990s independent cinema, this surreal screwball caper casts none other than David Bowie and Rosanna Arquette as Monte and Lucy, a pair of servers at a terminally hip New York City restaurant—he’s a Brit desperate for an American wife so he can get his green card, she’s a wannabe escape artist à la Houdini—whose scheme to rob their employers leads to all sorts of delightful complications. Costarring Eszter Balint (STRANGER THAN PARADISE), Andre Gregory, Buck Henry, and Marlee Matlin, THE LINGUINI INCIDENT, long almost impossible to see, reemerges in a new director’s cut as an offbeat treat—an engagingly out-there, tonally singular comedy whose moment for cult adoration has arrived.
