One of the year’s very best films — North Carolina indie filmmaker Ramin Bahrani’s Goodbye Solo — has a strong Memphis connection in the form of Red West, the charter member of Elvis’ “Memphis Mafia” and longtime character actor who delivers his first starring performance after 49 years in the business.
West moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, a couple of years ago, but will return to Memphis today to introduce the 7:25 screening at the Ridgeway Four. He will also stick around afterwards for a question-and-answer session.
