Cinema Interruptus: PHANTOM THREAD

Cinema Interruptus: PHANTOM THREAD

A unique movie tradition comes to the Gene Siskel Film Center with Cinema Interruptus: four days of communal film criticism centered around a single movie. For decades, legendary critic Roger Ebert led Interruptus at the Conference on World Affairs in Boulder, Colorado. After screening a film in its entirety, the audience spent multiple days working through the movie scene by scene, interrupting with comments and questions along the way. Josh Larsen—critic, author, and co-host of the Chicago-based podcast and radio program Filmspotting—has been leading Interruptus in Boulder since 2017 and is thrilled to bring it to the Film Center. “With the help of sharp, observant moviegoers, we always discover something new and enlightening about the movie during Interruptus,” Larsen said.

Directed by Kevin Macdonald and based on the NY Times best-selling memoir “Guantánamo Diary” by Mohamedou Ould Slahi. This is the inspiring true story of Slahi’s fight for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charge by the U.S. Government for years. Alone and afraid, Slahi (Tahar Rahim) finds allies in defense attorney Nancy Hollander (Jodie Foster) and her associate Teri Duncan (Shailene Woodley) who battle the U.S. Government in a fight for justice that tests their commitment to the law and their client at every turn. Their controversial advocacy, along with evidence uncovered by a formidable military prosecutor, Lt. Colonel Stuart Couch (Benedict Cumberbatch), uncovers shocking truths and ultimately proves that the human spirit cannot be locked up.
