#cagedheat

We don't want to turn this into another site of mourning, but for today we'd like to acknowledge the passing of director, Jonathan Demme.

More than the man who heard the "Silence of the Lambs", his excellent early exploitation work (story for Pam Grier's Black Mama, White Mam, writer/director for prisonflick Caged Heat); the shooting of Spaulding Gray's "Swimming to Cambodia", which gave the performer a larger platform for experimental narrativization; & Talking Heads uptown weirdness in "Stopping Making Sense" all made him an auteur of idiosyncratic variety. He gave Anne Hathaway and Melanie Griffith their best roles in "Rachel Getting Married" and "Something Wild". Both of those film are two of the best from their respective decades, especially “Rachel Getting Married”.

Below is the full movie of "Caged Heat". Watch it with us tonight.
