ABOUT CITY OF GOLD
As the unabashed cradle of Hollywood superficiality and smoggy urban sprawl, Los Angeles has long been condemned as a cultural wasteland. In the richly penetrating documentary odyssey City of Gold, Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold shows us another Los Angeles, where ethnic cooking is a kaleidoscopic portal to the mysteries of an unwieldy city and the soul of America.
Bombing through colorful neighborhoods in his green pickup truck, Gold is sniffing out his next strip-mall discovery—whether Oaxacan grasshopper soup, hand-cut tonkotsu ramen, or a particularly unctuous pad see ew. As piping-hot platters are served up, so are stories of immigrants whose secret family recipes are like sacred offerings pledged for the opportunity to build their American Dream. With eternal curiosity, razor-sharp intellect, and existential longing, Gold is a culinary geographer taking us where no critic has gone before. Like the film, Gold makes low culture high and high culture relevant, teasing out the meaning of life from a Korean taco, and pondering all that makes us different and all that makes us exactly the same. (Excerpted from Sundance Film Festival program)
An official selection of both the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW, IFC Films presents CITY OF GOLD, in theaters March 11.
ABOUT BOBBY JOHNSTON
Composer and multi-instrumentalist Bobby Johnston’s recent credits include scores for filmmakers Charlie Kaufman, Larry Clark and Stuart Gordon. His approach to composing utilizes organic and acoustic instruments, which he usually plays himself, sometimes complemented by featured soloists.
Johnston has been called ‘a new voice in film’ by Film Score Monthly and his score for KING OF ANTS earned him critical praise in film music circles. Subsequent works include scores for the films WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY, EDMOND, STUCK, MOTHER’S DAY, NO IMPACT MAN, and MARFA GIRL.
Johnston’s composition “I’m Leaving You” was featured on the soundtrack to the 2013 film THE LONE RANGER. His music has often been heard on the radio program This American Life and has been included on two of the show’s greatest hits CDs.
