CHASING AMY (1997) Film Screening

Saturday 27. September at 19:00 - 20:55

FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi

Saturday 27 September is VIEW ASKEWNIVERSE DAY. We're showing four films in chronological order. CHASING AMY - the third film we'll be presenting after CLERKS and MALL RATES - marked Kevin Smith’s leap into mature storytelling, exploring sexuality, identity, and love with surprising nuance.

The film follows a comic-book artist who falls in love with a woman who identifies as a lesbian, raising questions about labels, desire, and the complexity of relationships. What makes CHASING AMY critically acclaimed is its blend of raunchy humor with sincere emotional exploration, something rarely attempted in 1990s comedies

Critics praised its sharp script and heartfelt performances, particularly Joey Lauren Adams’ layered portrayal. The film won awards at Sundance and became Smith’s most respected work, proving he could handle more than crude banter. Its legacy lies in opening mainstream audiences to conversations about sexual fluidity and queer identity, albeit through the flawed perspective of straight male characters. CHASING AMY remains significant as both a cultural artifact and a heartfelt indie love story that pushed boundaries in mainstream romantic comedy.
