This fall, the Athena presents Déjà View: Cult Classics Film Series. Shock value may have put these films on the map but their lasting relevance is a testament to a deeper resonance. There is more to these films than sex, violence and potty humor. These films are about, by and for the outsiders. Each in its own way, these films celebrate the freak and delight in the different. And they do so with pride, triumph and joy, and a fair amount of filth and fun.
The eighth and final film in the series is The Big Lebowski. When the most righteous dude in Los Angeles is mistaken for a millionaire whose wife owes money to some very dangerous men, his carefree lifestyle is uprooted. Nihilists and a soiled rug, white Russians and bowling balls, this quotable classic is noted for being more enjoyable with every subsequent viewing.
“With their inspired, absurdist taste for weird, peculiar Americana-but a sort of neo-Americana that is entirely invented-the Coens have defined and mastered their own bizarre subgenre.”- Desson Thompson, Washington Post
