D. James's 1992 dystopian novel into his sixth and most politically charged film, a breathtaking hybrid of fantasy, action thriller, and allegorical tale. The story is set in a world without children, mired in religious violence, authoritarianism, and despair (as denounced by Michael Caine in a memorable scene). This is also a cinematic tour de force of the highest order, an ideal prologue to the weightless camera sequences in the award-winning Gravity (2013), Cuar&oacute;n's latest film. Watch out for the long climactic sequence where birth and death collide in an endless single shot with a handheld camera, an inspired masterpiece of poetry and technology from the film's director of photography, Emmanuel Lubezki.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <em>[source: <a HREF=\"https:\/\/www.eastman.org\/event\/film-screenings\/children-men\">George Eastman Museum website<\/a>, 2016-Dec-5]<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dryden will screen Children of Men (Alfonso Cuar&oacute;n, U.S.\/U.K. 2006, 109 min., 35mm) as part of the Primal Screen series.
