Gospel According to Harry

Part of our season, Lech Majewski: Landscape of Dreams

Screening: Monday 9 March, 6:30pm

Lech Majewski | USA/Poland |1992 | cert tbc

Produced for David Lynch’s Propaganda Films and starring Lord of the Rings’ Viggo Mortensen, Majewski’s Gospel offers a peculiar blend of Samuel Beckett, political allegory and Hollywood star power. A young couple (Mortensen and Jennifer Rubin) live out a fractious, but seemingly normal suburban life oblivious to the fact that their bourgeois existence has literally become a desert. “A striking film, where the director’s maverick vision creates a metaphor for our times against a barren landscape.” – Toronto International Film Festival

(88 minutes, 35mm)
