JAMES GANDOLFINI RETROSPECTIVE

Some people know James Gandolfini only as the Tony Soprano character from the HBO series.
After The Sopranos, Gandolfini had solid supporting roles in big-studio films:
Not Fade Away, Zero Dark 30, and Killing Them Softly,

This retrospective focuses on Mr. Gandolfini's more substantive performances — big roles in films from smaller, independent filmmakers. These character-driven works display the true range and ability he brought to his profession.
