THINGS TO COME
DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB
by Stanley Kubrick
Country: USA, UK
Year: 1964
Duration: 95'
Taking place in the Pentagon War Room, the White House, a U.S. air base and the cockpit of a bomber in flight, a rousing anti-Bomb, anti-military, anti-everything satire in which Kubrick tries his hand at sci-fi for the first time. A grotesque, cruel and irresistible accusation, in which all logic has been swept away in an illogical role play, with Power condemning itself and all humanity to destruction. We’ll meet again… and T.J. King Kong goes down with the Bomb. Starring Peter Sellers in three different roles and George C. Scott.
