Let’s watch “SECONDS” (1966) by John Frankenheimer @ FACETS + DISCUSSION, DRINKS

Details

John Frankenheimer's “Seconds” is one of the most haunting American films. It’s probably the best CULT CLASSIC you have never seen. James Wong Howe’s expressionistic cinematography plays a huge part in making this nightmarish vision so memorable. After receiving a call from an old friend who was once thought to be deceased, Arthur Hamilton gets talked into leaving his old life behind to lead a youthful one. Once Hamilton gets lured into this dark underground world, there’s no turning back. The company blackmails him into paying for the procedure. He has no other choice. First, they fake his death, then transform the way he looks, and finally they reintegrate him into society with a new job and a new identity (ROCK HUDSON).

THIS FILM NEEDS TO BE WATCHED ON A BIG SCREEN. The trailer: duck://player/R3BakfXzIMo
