Moonlight & Movies: Man Push Cart at
Museum of the City of New York, 104th Street and Fifth Avenue. Man Push Cart (2005, 87 mins.), the acclaimed debut film of director Ramin Bahrani that follows the life of Ahmad, a once famous Pakistani rock star now working long hours in the streets of Manhattan selling coffee and bagels from his cart.
Providing a "rare immigrant’s-eye view of a post-9/11 city suffused with subtle paranoia and xenophobia, Man Push Cart gives at once empathetic and clear-eyed expression to the everyday drama of human endurance" (Criterion Collection). The film's Oscar-nominated director, Ramin Bahrani, will introduce the screening with Dan Barry, senior writer at The New York Times. Online tickets now available at the MCNY website:
