About this event
In 2027, two decades of global infertility have left humanity facing extinction. Britain has become a police state, and a disillusioned bureaucrat named Theo (Clive Owen) is drawn into a desperate mission to protect the first pregnant woman in eighteen years. The film features career-defining performances from Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Clare-Hope Ashitey. Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki's legendary long takes place you directly inside the chaos; the film is renowned for its unbroken tracking shots, including a harrowing refugee camp sequence and an unforgettable car ambush, creating a documentary-like immediacy rarely achieved in cinema. Roger Ebert gave it a perfect score, and 20 years later its themes of nationalism, xenophobia, and societal collapse feel more prescient than ever.
