Our April “American Cinema Editors Presents” is Billy Madison, followed by a conversation with the film's editor, Jeffrey Wolf, ACE on Friday, April 17, 6:30pm at Metrograph, NYC.
Tamra Davis’ 1995 film Billy Madison, starring Adam Sandler, is, according to writer Ceara Milligan, a masterpiece of absurdity. The movie follows a lovable man-child on a quest for redemption and second chances, fueled by Snack Packs, a possibly imaginary penguin, and questionable academic ambition. The comedy features Bradley Whitford, Darren McGavin, Josh Mostel, and Norm MacDonald in his feature film debut — plus Steve Buscemi, Jim Downey, and Chris Farley in uncredited roles. Sandler earned a Best Comedic Performance nomination at the 1996 MTV Movie Awards for the role.
After the screening, we'll sit down with the film's editor, Jeffrey Wolf, ACE, for a conversation about cutting comedy and his wide-ranging career. Wolf has collaborated with an extraordinary roster of directors — Arthur Penn, John Waters, John Sayles, Ted Demme, and George C. Wolfe among them — on films including Penn and Teller Get Killed, Cecil B. Demented, The Ref, Beautiful Girls, Life, and Holes.
