“Being in this creative space feels like being in a creative cocoon.” – Michael Schultz
Cult classic CAR WASH rolled through ARRAY’s Cinema Lounge for a special screening, followed by an exclusive conversation with the film’s director, Michael Schultz. This 1976 comedy, which has since become beloved, offers a vibrant snapshot of 1970s Los Angeles, blending humor with social commentary as it follows the lives of the eclectic group of employees at a car wash. During the conversation, Schultz reflected on the film’s lasting impact, its unique approach to storytelling, and how it captured the spirit of its time. Audiences were treated to an in-depth discussion on the creative process behind CAR WASH, and about Schultz’s decades-long canon of work (COOLEY HIGH, THE LAST DRAGON, KRUSH GROOVE). This special event at ARRAY's newly opened Cinema Lounge provided a unique opportunity for film lovers to engage with a cinematic gem, offering insights into its production, themes, and enduring legacy. Presented in partnership with The Broad.
