“Candy Mountain,” the indie cult classic about a musician’s quest to find a legendary guitar craftsman, has been digitally restored in 2K and will be re-released to theaters on October 25. Originally released in 1987, the film stars Kevin J O’Conner and Harris Yulin, as well as French icon Bulle Ogier, with a supporting cast of real-life music legends Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Joe Strummer, Dr. John, David Johansen and Arto Lindsay. Called “A wry, laid-back ‘Heart of Darkness’" (Chicago Reader), “Candy Mountain” combines the keen eye of the legendary photographer Robert Frank with novelist/screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer’s mythic American prose to produce the quintessential road movie.
