Maidstone, Norman Mailer, 1968–1970, 110 minutes
 \;
In July of 1968, in the wake of the assassination of Robert Kennedy and the attempt on the life of Andy Warhol, the elegant resort town of East Ha mpton witnessed a bizarre invasion of celebrities and unknowns, profession al actors and amateurs, black radicals and underground superstars, assembl ed by Norman Mailer for a movie in which he would both direct and star. Sh ot by D.A. Pennebaker and Ricky Leacock, Maidstone, Mailer’s th ird and most ambitious film concerns the exploits of highly popular, yet e soteric, film director Norman T. Kingsley casting a remake of Buñ\;uel 's Belle du Jour. While also considering a run for the U.S. presi dency, Kingsley finds himself being scrutinized by both the Eastern establ ishment and an elite secret police organization ostensibly formed to prote ct him from assassination. Described by its director as a “guerilla raid on the nature of reality,” Mailer’s existential psychodrama sets the stage for an explosion of human passions in its volatile mix of existentia l politics, direct cinema and sexual intrigue that dissolves the line betw een fiction and actuality.
