2001: A Space Odyssey (4K OV)

In the organizer's words:

By Stanley Kurbick,

with Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester.

A mind-bending sci-fi symphony, Stanley Kubrick's ("The Shining", "A Clockwork Orange", "Full Metal Jacket") landmark 1968 epic pushed the limits of narrative and special effects toward a meditation on technology and humanity. One of the most influential of all sci-fi films - and one of the most controversial - "2001" is based on noted sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke's story about a pair of astronauts, who head to Jupiter to investigate a radio signal sent from a mysterious monolith on the moon. However, their tranquil trip is endangered when their onboard, all-too-human computer HAL malfunctions and begins acting oddly. Revisiting this notoriously baffling movie on its 50th anniversary is a real trip: an enthralling marriage of music, imagery, sound and philosophy, Kubrick's masterpiece is a glorious technical and creative achievement, and its impact on the arts is incalculable. Nearly half a century after its release, the film's groundbreaking special effects are still breathtaking, and its ending still mind-bending. To celebrate this special anniversary, we are proud to present the movie in a brilliant and newly available 4K version.
