Part of the series B-Side Cinema: Five Overlooked Movies from Great Directors. Host Daniel Simpson will introduce the screening on Thursday July 13 @ 5:30pm.
In the 22nd century, husband and wife Henry and Monica grieve for their comatose son and attempt to find solace with an android child (Haley Joel Osment). Named David, all this robot yearns for is to love, and be loved by, his surrogate mother. Things become complicated when Henry and Monica’s real son awakens. Originally conceived by Stanley Kubrick, A.I. marked the first and only cinematic collaboration between Kubrick and fellow science-fiction master Steven Spielberg. Melding two highly different directorial influences, A.I. offers the best of both.
The most philosophical film in Kubrick’s canon, the most intelligent in Spielberg’s, and quite possibly the film with the most contemporary relevance that either one has made since Kubrick released Dr. Strangelove in 1964.
