Event Information
1984
Askwith Auditorium in Lorch Hall
Tuesday, Apr 4, 2017 9:00 PM
Based on the classic
George Orwell
novel, director
Michael Radford’s
version of 1984 was released during the book’s titular year.
The Criterion Collection describes Radford’s
1984
as “The definitive film adaptation of
George Orwell’s
prophetic literary classic, starring
John Hurt
and
Richard Burton
. This masterly adaptation of
George Orwell’s
chilling parable about totalitarian oppression gives harrowing cinematic expression to the book’s prophetic dystopia. In a rubble-strewn surveillance state where an endless overseas war props up the repressive regime of the all-seeing Big Brother, and all dissent is promptly squashed, a profoundly alienated citizen, Winston Smith (thrillingly played by
John Hurt
), risks everything for an illicit affair with the rebellious Julia (
Suzanna Hamilton
), defiantly asserting his humanity in the face of soul-crushing conformity. Through vividly grim production design and expressionistically desaturated cinematography by
Roger Deakins
,
Michael Radford’s
1984
conjures a bleak vision of postwar Britain as fascistic nightmare — a world all too recognizable as our own."
R | 1h 55m | 1984
