The Dryden will screen The Deer Hunter (Michael Cimino, U.S. 1978, 183 min., 35mm) as part of the Memory and Forgetting series.

Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, and John Savage play a trio of small-town Pennsylvania steelworkers sent to fight in Vietnam. The dangerous and grueling work of the steel mill is pitted against the horrors of war in the first film to address the social and psychological dislocations wrought by the conflict. The Deer Hunter renewed interest in the dramatic epic and invited comparison with previous masterworks by Griffith and Coppola.
