Candy Mountain

Desperate for a career foothold, NYC musician Julius (Kevin J. O'Connor) promised a rock star (David Johansen) that he could deliver the handiwork of the legendarily reclusive guitar maker Elmore Silk (Harris Yulin). Now, it's just a matter of finding Silk-and an episodic road trip into deepest Canada will provide him with profound insight. Compelling effort from director Robert Frank and scenarist Rudy Wurlitzer co-stars Bulle Ogier, Roberts Blossom, Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Dr. John, Joe Strummer. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
