Show & Culture

The discovery of a black monolith spanning the ages triggers a space expedition. Onboard the HAL 9000 spaceship, the crew faces cosmic mysteries that challenge human understanding, revealing the depths of existence and consciousness. "A film is only rich if it raises more questions than it provides answers: Kubrick thus offers us (in an aporetic and poetic sense) his philosophy." (Repérages) UK-USA film from 1968 directed by Stanley Kubrick. Original version with French subtitles. Duration: 139 minutes. Cast: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester. Oscar for Best Special Visual Effects 1969. "A multisensory ode to cosmic mystery, fate and the future. Long stretches happen with no explication or action except the zero-gravity ballets of spaceships immaculately imagined. The movie broke with many of the conventions of the time. 2001 left you alone in space with your thoughts." (The New York Times)
