"The most sophisticated political thriller ever made in Hollywood." – Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
The Manchurian Candidate, which takes place in 1952, is about an American POW in the Korean War who is brainwashed as an unwitting assassin for an international Communist conspiracy.
Join Distinguished Professor of Film Jon Lewis and special guests for a free screening followed by an on-stage discussion of culturally and artistically provocative films. Cramped for time? Come for the brief introductory remarks and the screening alone, starting promptly at 7 p.m. Up for a more fulsome engagement with the power and relevance of cinema? Stay for a post-screening conversation.
