THE DUKE OF GOO
Director: Richard Matson Theatrical release: August 1, 2004A Rock and Roll bedtime story. The Duke of Goo, a mythical donut-thieving nighttime creature, part hobo – part vampire, haunts the city night while a crew of eccentric drifters hold a raucous dance party in a junkyard. The solitary and the communal nights begin to intertwine and finally collide.
The Duke of Goo is like an irreverent, marijuana-induced, French-noir comedy (if there were only such a genre), set in present day Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. Shot in beautifully crisp, high contrast black and white. It is skillfully edited and produced and artfully directed.Joy Division
