An aspiring L.A. rocker loses both his band and his girl, but gains the friendship of his own local rock hero in this sweet and humanistic comedy.
STRUTTER completes the trilogy of films about Southern California musicians by long-time collaborators Allison Anders and Kurt Voss. The first film in the series, BORDER RADIO (1987), is part of the Criterion Collection and published on DVD; the second, SUGAR TOWN (1999), was the "centerpiece premiere" at the 1999 edition of the Sundance Film Festival.
"Anders and Voss are greatly helped in their effort by a fresh-faced and talented cast, led by Lunsford, whose quiet desperation always has the undertones of a guy almost ready to explode, with Elyse Hollander and Sara Ashley delivering charming supporting turns as friends trying to keep him just on the right side of crazy."
