Kubrick Retrospective: 2001: A Space Odyssey – Playing February 24 & 25

Watch Trailer Director: Stanley Kubrick
Writer(s): Stanley Kubrick (screenplay), Arthur C. Clarke (screenplay),
Cast: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is a countdown to tomorrow, a road map to human destiny, a quest for the infinite. To begin his voyage into the future, Kubrick visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millenia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever conceived) into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Dullea) into uncharted realms of space, perhaps even into immortality. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” Let the awe and mystery of a journey unlike any other begin.

The February 25 viewing of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY will double as a Science on Screen event. Join us after the show for a discussion about our evolutionary past with paleo-artist John Gurche. Gurche’s work has appeared on the covers of National Geographic, Discover and Natural History Magazines and in the Smithsonian, the Field Museum, and the American Museum of Natural History, among others.

Kubrick Retrospective: Eyes Wide Shut – Playing March 24 & 25

Watch Trailer Director: Stanley Kubrick
Writer(s): Stanley Kubrick (screenplay), Frederic Raphael (screenplay), and Arthur Schnitzler (novella "Traumnovelle") (inspiration)
Cast: Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Todd Field

The final work of legendary director Stanley Kubrick, who died within a week of completing the edit, stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, at the time Hollywood’s most bankable celebrity couple. Cruise and Kidman play William and Alice Harford, a physician and a gallery manager who are wealthy, successful, and travel in a sophisticated social circle; however, a certain amount of decadence crosses their paths on occasion, and a visit to a formal-dress party leads them into sexual temptation when William is drafted into helping a beautiful girl who has overdosed on drugs while Alice is charmed by a man bent on seduction. While neither William and Alice act on their adulterous impulses, once the issue has been brought into the open, it begins a dangerous season of erotic gamesmanship for the couple, with William in particular openly confronting his desire for new sexual experiences.

“Kubrick, exactly in character, has left us as the unchallengeable champion of the enigma.” -Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle

The Great Beauty

Watch Trailer Director: Paolo Sorrentino
Writer(s): Paolo Sorrentino, Umberto Contarello
Cast: Toni Servillo, Carlo Verdone, Sabrina Ferilli
Awards: Won 2014 Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film
Language: Italian with English subtitles

Journalist Jep Gambardella (the dazzling Toni Servillo, Il divo and Gomorrah) has charmed and seduced his way through the lavish nightlife of Rome for decades. Since the legendary success of his one and only novel, he has been a permanent fixture in the city’s literary and social circles, but when his sixty-fifth birthday coincides with a shock from the past, Jep finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties, and cafés to find Rome in all its glory: a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.

“Go ahead. Soak up the Beauty. It’s one of the best films of the year.” -Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

“Sorrentino’s juxtaposition of contemporary Roman indulgence and the Eternal City’s place in history’s imagination makes for a bittersweet epic in which a solitary character, Jep, stands in for the director, and us, and experiences an epiphany.” -John Anderson, Newsday
