Seconds (1966) at the Denver Pavilions
Details
John Frankenheimer's Seconds has been on my watchlist for a long time, and the Regal is screening it in multiple theaters for one day only. Let's catch this unsettling sci-fi classic in a recliner at the Pavilions!
From Criterion: Rock Hudson is a revelation in this sinister, science-fiction-inflected dispatch from the fractured 1960s. Seconds, directed by John Frankenheimer, concerns a middle-aged banker who, dissatisfied with his suburban existence, elects to undergo a strange and elaborate procedure that will grant him a new life. Starting over in America, however, is not as easy as it sounds. This paranoiac symphony of canted camera angles (courtesy of famed cinematographer James Wong Howe), fragmented editing, and layered sound design is a remarkably risk-taking Hollywood film that ranks high on the list of its legendary director’s achievements.
I'll be in the lobby at 6:15 in Denver Cinema Club attire, then in the same spot after the film to gather the crew to walk somewhere for debrief.
