\\2020 is here. To celebrate, the Esquire Theatre is kicking off their 2020 VISION series with the 1985 coming-of-age flick
Vision Quest. Starring Matthew Modine, it hones in on a high school wrestler who, upon turning 18, decides he wants to do something greater with his life. And so he sets out on a lofty goal without the support of his coach or father. But when he meets an older woman, Carla, he begins to lose sight of his aspirations. Directed by Harold Becker, it’s also the first film to feature a Madonna cameo. The other two films in the VISION series are 1978’s
Eyes of Laura Mars (screening Jan. 16) and 1993’s
Blink (Jan. 21).
