Guys, Guns & Garages: Scorpio |
If you have already created a profile on www.nbm.org, please log-in to autopopulate your information.**Due to inclement weather, this program has been cancelled**As a complement to House of Cars, the Museum explores the parking garage as a location in action films and thrillers of the 1970s, as well as a space of unsettling encounters in contemporary short films and performance. Ann Hornaday, Washington Post film critic, and Deborah Sorensen, curatorial associate, introduce the films. A cat and mouse thriller pitting experienced CIA agent Burt Lancaster against young assassin Alain Delon--aka Scorpio (Michael Winner, 1973, PG, 114 minutes). Preceded by Something to Love. Jesper Just’s films are gemlike and ambiguous works that challenge preconceptions of gender and age—as in the mysterious relationship between a chauffeur and his charge (2005, 8 minutes). $10 Members; $10 Students; $12 Non-members. Member Special: $15 for all three films! Prepaid registration required. Walk-in registration based on availability. Have a picnic in the Great Hall! The Museum is presenting an informal setting for the screening of this film. Seating is provided but you may want to bring your own blanket, food, and drink (no alcohol please). The Museum's award-winning Shop is open for one hour prior to the start of the program. Firehook Cafe is also open for one hour prior to the start of the program, offering sandwiches, soft drinks, tea and coffee and sweet treats. Shop and Café hours are subject to change.
