Come see presented on 70mm film on the big screen in L3!

Now this was the Kubrick film to knock my socks off. Perhaps that’s the basic view, the Filmbro view, the what-you-expect-this-review to say view. But it did. I could not believe this film is from the 1960s, because the set and scene is astonishing in how beautiful and believable it is to being futuristic science fiction. It’s jaw-dropping. I was lucky enough to see this on 70mm at WSC, which I think has become a core memory. Sitting towards the left of the middle, third row from the front, eyes upcast, gazing in sheer awe. When it got to the interval, I spoke a mile a minute with the friend I had been watching with about how bloody cool it was.

What particularly surprised me at points was how the score managed to terrify me in a film that doesn’t try to be a horror, but definitely is horrific. The string quartets that scream as the men approach the obelisk is a stand out moment that made me want to hide behind the seats, and Hal’s chilling “I’m sorry, Dave” sent shivers down my spine. Quite simply, it’s a must-watch. And if you’re watching it on 70mm at WSC, doubly so! [Sueda Baxter]
