Cabaret Cinema

Friday, May 20, 2016
9:30 PM–11:30 PM

1982, USA, Ridley Scott, 117 min.

Introduced by photographers Jenny Gage and Tom Betterton

Ridley Scott’s dystopian masterpiece—adapted from Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?brings audiences to a dark and intimidating world where replicants have infiltrated and need to be exterminated. Harrison Ford plays Rick Deckard and is joined on screen by a cast that gives an astounding humanity to the futuristic land. The groundbreaking special effects and ghastly cinematography earned the film marvelous reviews, including one by Dick, who said: “It was my own interior world. They caught it perfectly.”
