2001: A Space Odyssey – Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 7:30pm
Directed by Stanley Kubrick
With Keir Dullea
Nothing less than an epic vision of the history of humanity from the clash of cavemen to the space age, 2001: A Space Odyssey is Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece, a film about space travel that was made with the same spirit of innovation and technological bravura as the space program itself. The film works on numerous levels, including cold-war satire, darkly comic warning against dehumanization, and mind-expanding journey into a new form of human consciousness, with an abstract and mysterious final sequence that must be interpreted by the viewer.
Tickets $10
