Event at Cinematheque & Miami Beach Film Society

Description

An MBC Premiere HD DIGITAL Presentation! In collaboration with Emerging Pictures Miami Theatrical Premiere! In The Loop (Directed by Armando Iannucci/UK/2009) With James Gangolfini, Mimi Kennedy, Peter Capaldi, Tom Hollander In The Loop is a smart comedy and Sundance Film Festival hit from the acclaimed team who created the award-winning BBC TV comedy series Alan Partridge and The Thick of It. The film is drawing instant comparisons to some of the great political and absurdist comedies such as Doctor Strangelove, Wag The Dog, Thank You For Smoking, and Monty Python. With razor-sharp, truly laugh-out-loud dialogue the film pokes fun at the absurdity and ineptitude of our highest leaders. With everyone looking out for number one, and the fate of the free world at stake (but apparently incidental), the hilarious ensemble cast of characters bumbles its way through Machiavellian political dealings, across continents, and toward comic resolutions that are unforeseeable. OFFICIAL SELECTION: Sundance, Tribeca, and Los Angeles Film Festivals ?SCATHINGLY FUNNY...a smart sophisticated comedy.?-Manohla Dargis, NY Times ?DON'T MISS IT...the sheer volume of eloquent vulgarity and biting dialogue is indeed timeless; there are so many great lines that rush by you that you need at least two viewings to catch them all.?- David Fear, Time Out New York
