ANGELIKA’S NOTE

An iconic cinematic masterpiece directed by Academy Award winner Mike Nichols (CLOSER, WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF), starring Dustin Hoffman (TOOTSIE, RAIN MAN) as Ben Braddock, a young college graduate caught in a love triangle between a young woman, Elaine, played by Katharine Ross (THE STEPFORD WIVES, DONNIE DARKO), and her mother Mrs. Robinson, played by Anne Bancroft (THE MIRACLE WOKER, THE TURNING POINT). Featuring iconic music from Simon & Garfunkel, THE GRADUATE "feels as sly, modern and bracing as it must have in 1967" (Time Out). A new restoration of the movie that defined a generation, made Hoffman a super-star, and garnered six Oscar® nominations, including a win for director Mike Nichols. Featuring a knockout Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack.
