Interstellar (Nolan, 2014): Prince Charles Cinema, 8pm
This is a 70mm screening and the film is on an extended run. Details here.
Chicago Reader review:
On a visual level, Interstellar is an exceptionally well-crafted
Hollywood entertainment. Director Christopher Nolan, art director Dean
Wolcott, and their effects artists render the imaginary settings in
stunning detail. The film is rife with brilliant imagery: a horizon of
frozen clouds, an ocean wave as tall as a skyscraper, the flashing
interior of a wormhole through which the principal characters fly their
spacecraft. The most striking thing about these images is that we’re
rarely encouraged to ooh and aah over them; unlike most ambitious space
operas since 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968), Interstellar
inspires not wonder but a cool contemplation. Nolan and his brother
Jonathan, who cowrote the script, advance a hard-science perspective,
incorporating such concepts as the theory of relativity and placing
dramatic emphasis on research and problem solving.
