The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Being Human starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar, "in one of the most intriguing and underrated films of the 1990s, writer/director Forsyth takes us through several thousand years of history to illustrate the eternal human struggle to find peace and happiness. Robin Williams stars in five separate episodes: as a caveman in prehistorical times, a slave to a Roman citizen (John Turturro), a Medieval wanderer, a Portuguese shipwreck survivor, and a divorced father in contemporary Manhattan. 'This being a Forsyth movie, everything is scaled down to human proportions. The movie leaves you feeling there's more to it than meets the eye.'—Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader"
