ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Often regarded as one of the greatest films of all time – with a glowing 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – Stanley Kubrick’s (A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, THE SHINING) Oscar-winning psychological drama launches the audience into the deep dark that is outer space, on a journey to land mankind on Jupiter. With gripping performances from Kier Dullea (DAVID AND LISA, BLACK CHRISTMAS), Gary Lockwood (MODEL SHOP, IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD’S FAIR), and William Sylvester (GORGO, GEMINI MAN), 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY immerses the audience into the story, taking you along every step of this dystopian existence. Los Angeles Times praises, "Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is the picture which science-fiction enthusiasts of every age and in every corner of the world have prayed (sometimes forlornly) that the industry might one day give them."

SYNOPSIS

The Monoliths push humanity to reach for the stars; after their discovery in Africa generations ago, the mysterious objects lead mankind on an awesome journey to Jupiter, with the help of H.A.L. 9000: the world’s greatest supercomputer.

SYNOPSIS

"Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is the picture which science-fiction enthusiasts of every age and in every corner of the world have prayed (sometimes forlornly) that the industry might one day give them."

Los Angeles Times

"The film is a journey through outer space, but it is also a journey through cinematic space. It conjures the future by making you sit through its vision of the future, spending time just being in it."

Village Voice

"[2001] might be best described as a factual philosophical speculation, rather than as the drama it sets out as but never develops into: and like all good speculations, it leaves the spectator up in the air with a tantalising vision as food for thought."
