Film: Us

Overview

Join us in the height of ‘Horror Season’ for a special screening of ‘Us’

So, you’ve made it, right? You are living the American dream, correct? Is your beach vacation serene enough? Are your friends and neighbours white enough? Are they colour blind enough? Are you? Have you looked yourself in the mirror lately? Have you talked to her? Out loud? What is troubling you? Who is to blame? Us or the Others? Who are Us and who the Others? Are you screaming yet?

Jordan Peele follows his hit, pop culture phenomenon of a film debut, “Get Out”, (which was nominated for 4 Oscars and won him the one for Best Original Screenplay), with this eerie, mind- boggling and unexpectedly philosophical, cinematic nightmare which you willingly persist not to wake up or avert your eyes from. You don’t want to miss a minute of the intriguing, existential puzzles, enigmas, and questions it confronts you with, or a second of Lupita Nyong’o’s amazing performance, which you have to see to believe. In a double role, as Adelaide and her mysterious doppelganger, Red, she crawls under your skin, grips your heart, and besieges your mind. Can you resist her? Should you?
