A Double Life screening (2016-Jun-16 @ 8 p.m.)
2016-Jun-16 @ 20:00 - 21:44
The Dryden will screen A Double Life (George Cukor, U.S. 1947, 104 min., 35mm).
Ronald Colman won an Oscar for his portrayal of a stage actor who can no longer differentiate between the real and the theatrical. As he assumes the role of Othello on stage, his off-stage life begins to take on eerie similarities, and murderous motivations come to light when Colman discovers that jealousy is the key to his character. A fascinating study of the duality of performance and the burgeoning "method" movement, the film is complemented by an amazing Miklós Rózsa score.
