About The Lives of Firecrackers
"Covers the very brief lives of several firecrackers, including the political, erotic and schizophrenic firecracker. It is also about the creative process: one firecracker reads from Wittgenstein." - Pacific Film Archive program note, 1979
Directed by Sandy Moore, The Lives of Firecrackers leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Locsin, Eddie Garcia, Romy Diaz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1979.
