James N. Kienitz Wilkins uses 35mm Hollywood film stills to interrogate the long-term effects of cinephilia in this witty, off-beat trial of the moving image.
This Academy Award-nominated film delves into the challenges faced by a group of college housemates from the 60s who have lost touch over the years. Drawn together for the funeral of a dear friend, they confront the reality of their own mortality and reflect on their individual paths. One of the great ensemble films of the 80s, The Big Chill deftly depicts the Baby Boomer generation as they contend with the unforeseen trials of early adulthood.
