Dr Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb
Peter Sellers steals the show in this razor-sharp political satire about an American general who decides on his own initiative to fire nuclear artillery at the Soviet Union.
Stanley Kubrick | UK, USA, 1964 | 95 min | English spoken | Starring Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn
Sellers took on no fewer than three roles in Stanley Kubrick’s biting Cold War satire: he shines as Dr Strangelove, a dubious German scientist, as a US president and as an army captain. Particularly unforgettable is his frenzied portrayal of the mud-fat German-accented Dr Strangelove whose arm indomitably shoots up in the Hitler salute.
Not surprisingly, upon its release – during the Cold War – the film faced a lot of opposition from the government and military. This film classic will be screened in a 4K restoration.
