2004/05 Season

DR STRANGELOVE: OR HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB

UK 1963 (PG) - 93 minutes Directed by Stanley Kubrick

Ipswich Film Theatre - 16 May 2005 - 7.30pm This very black comedy is a vision of a future in the '60s, a cynical view of the progress of technology and human stupidity. Featuring a paranoid US General and a frustrated gung-ho military type, it also offers Peter Sellers in three wildly differing roles, giving a superb performance in each. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Still frightening - so perceptive of human frailty (and funny); Poignant, relevant now as then. Ignore at our peril; Holds up remarkably well. Sellers provides three quite brilliant and nicely understated portrayals; Sellers brilliant and to a great extent frighteningly relevant.
