Leaving November 30
•
1h 30m
Directed by Allan Moyle • 1995 • United States
Starring Anthony LaPaglia, Liv Tyler, Renée Zellweger
The ultimate in Gen X slacker cinema, this box-office bomb turned certified cult classic unfolds over the course of one pivotal day at Empire Records, an independent Delaware vinyl shop where news that the store is at risk of being sold to a corporate megachain brings its misfit employees together in a last-ditch effort to save it. Featuring a fresh-faced ensemble cast lead by Liv Tyler, Ethan Embry, and Renée Zellweger and a definitive ’90s alt-rock soundtrack, EMPIRE RECORDS is an irresistible, funny-sweet ode to the decade’s anti-sellout ethos.
