For the start of the new semester I propose a very special cine, both hilarious and tragic - a perfect combination of first class acting and detailed directing. Shot in the midst of the cold war, it manages to capture in a most schematic but nonetheless vivid form the ridiculous tensions present throughout the political landscape of that era. Yet, turning on any TV-set and waiting for the news, the same absurdities seem live on disguised as important facts people should be concerned about.
Kubrick, one of my favorite directors, is the master-mind behind this cinematographic landmark, and because he succeeds to artfully decorate every frame I hope we'll have plenty of things to discuss afterwards.
