JOY RIDE Private premiere screening for the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Young Friends of Film members. Join us for a special advance screening of the new thriller from John Dahl, the director of Red Rock West and The Last Seduction. Leelee Sobieski (Eyes Wide Shut, A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries) is Venna, a college student who goes on the road with her friend Lewis (Paul Walker) and his crazy brother Fuller (Steve Zahn). When Fuller taunts a truck driver, he puts them all in serious danger. Dahl made some of the finest neo-noirs of the last decade, and his first film of the new century promises to be one of his best.
