The Deer Hunter

1978, DCP2K (brand new restoration).

Trailers start 30 mins beforehand. Doors open 4pm.

We are only screening one film this Sunday as it’s epic and you need no distractions.

From the opening scenes of hunter Robert De Niro and friends Christopher Walken, John Savage and John Cazale stalking deer in the mist-shrouded Pennsylvania hills, to the shattering prisoner-of-war games in the jungles of Vietnam, director Michael Cimino's masterwork is a sprawling, ambitious epic of men wounded by pride, country and friendship, struggling to drag each other back to a place of safety.

Co-starring Meryl Streep. Winner of five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (Walken).

“A remarkably full screen treatment of the mystic bond of male comradeship… it’s an astonishing piece of work, an uneasy mixture of violent pulp and grandiosity, with an enraptured view of common life – poetry of the commonplace.” – Pauline Kael, New Yorker
