SUMMARY:August Meeting: The Grifters
DESCRIPTION:  This month\, Cinematext will be reading Jim Thomson’s 1
	963 pulp novel The Grifters. Roy Dillon is young\, good-looking and de
	vastatingly charming. He's also a completely amoral con man. Lily\, hi
	s mother\, works for the mob. Moira Langtry\, Roy's mistress\, is alwa
	ys looking for the main chance\, and so is Carol Roberg\, the nurse br
	ought in to look after Roy when a bad choice of mark means he has an u
	nfortunate encounter with a baseball bat and a bad case of internal bl
	eeding. Together they make up a perverse quadrangle of love and greed 
	in a coruscating novel of corruption. On August 23\, we’ll be watchin
	g the 1990 neo-noir film of the same title directed by Stephen Frears 
	and produced by Martin Scorsese. The film was nominated for four acade
	my awards - including ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’ !\n
