Dir. Chris Blum US 1988
With his distinctive gravelly voice and unique style, Tom Waits remains a
lasting cult icon in the vein of a beat poet or jazz musician. A reminder
of a time when music and performance were not easily packaged for MTV, Big
Time is a concert/narrative with Waits in a persona that is equal parts
lounge lizard and carny. Partially filmed in San Francisco's Warfield Theater. (87m)
