In Brief: Generally reviled at the time of its release, Joseph McGrath’s The Magic Christian (1969) has seen its appreciation skyrocket in recent years — deservedly so. What was once dismissed as tasteless and messy (never mind that these were deliberate) has now come to be seen as a brilliantly anarchic satire and perhaps the apotheosis of 1960s British Invasion filmmaking. Its tale of the world’s richest eccentric, Sir Guy Grand (Peter Sellers), and his adopted son Youngman (Ringo Starr) setting out to prove that everyone can be bought if the price is high enough left few, if any, sacred cows standing. Subversive, very funny and wildly inventive, The Magic Christian is a gem of 1960s film. The Asheville Film Society will screen The Magic Christian Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 8 p.m. in Theater Six at The Carolina Asheville and will be hosted by Xpress movie critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther.
