We had so much fun last year blending smoothies for Rooftop Films and watching No Impact Man. This Friday we’ll be heading over to watch Biker Fox, a movie about the radical biking phenomenon pictured to your right. Check below for details on all Rooftop Films showing this weekend.
Friday, June 11th
BIKER FOX
NY Premiere! A documentary about Tulsa’s best-known bicycle-riding, raccoon-feeding, scrapyard-dealing, screaming, motivational philosopher of life. Calling Frank P DeLarzelere III (AKA Biker Fox) a local celebrity is misleading – he is more agitator than prized local son. As a proponent of bicycles as a primary means of transportation, he is fighting an uphill battle against a Southern community that loves its cars, worships horsepower, and doesn’t smile upon long haired, flamboyantly dressed eccentrics calling for lifestyle changes.
It would be tempting for most filmmakers to make Biker Fox into a hagiographical portrait of a maverick fighting the good fight for healthy living against the close-minded authorities in a conservative small city, but Lamberton is equally interested in uncovering the darker sides of Biker Fox’s personality, making him much more human – and much more interesting.
