2001: A Space Odyssey (Spacewalks)

Show & Culture

The discovery of a black monolith that spans the ages triggers a space expedition. Onboard the HAL 9000 spacecraft, the crew faces cosmic enigmas that challenge human understanding, unveiling the depths of existence and consciousness. “A film is only rich if it poses more questions than it provides answers: Kubrick, in this sense (both aporetic and poetic), delivers his philosophy.” (Repérages) “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, like mood music to tell you what to feel and think. 2001 left you alone in space with your thoughts.” (The New York Times)
