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.
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 brand new 4K restoration.
