The Road (15)
Academy Award® Nominee Viggo Mortensen leads an all star cast including Guy Pearce, Robert Duvall and Charlize Theron and an incredible debut performance from Kodi Smit-McPhee.
A thrilling and deeply moving tale of survival, an ailing father and his young son journey across a barren, post apocalyptic America in search of the ocean. Respectfully adapted from Cormac McCarthy’s hallowed novel, The Road boldly imagines a future in which men are pushed to the worst and the best that they are capable of – a future in which a father and his son are sustained by love.
Philosophy on Film screenings come with an introduction, and post film philosophical analysis. This event will be hosted by philosopher Joe Saunders.
Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair is presented in partnership with the American Cinematheque and Prince Charles Cinema.
