As part of the Metrograph’s retrospective celebrating the singular career of Wallace Shawn, this special screening of Clueless revisits Amy Heckerling’s beloved 1995 comedy through the lens of one of its sharpest supporting performances. Best known to generations of audiences as the endlessly quotable Mr. Hall (“I’m not one to indulge in linguistic slovenliness”), Shawn’s work in Clueless captures the wit, warmth, and intellectual eccentricity that define his decades-long career across film, theater, and television. The series highlights Shawn not only as a character actor but as a playwright, essayist, and cultural voice whose presence delights in classics as different as My Dinner with Andre and The Princess Bride. —Carolina de Armas
