The Cold War is over, you may have noticed, yet Dr. Strangelove is still right on target: a ferocious comedy about the end of the world and the onset of nuclear winter. Few remember how many negative reviews the film received when it first came out (like most Kubrick films) and today it may be revered -- but its lessons go unobserved by most filmmakers. This film will be part of the Nuclear Show in the Media Center Gallery.

"Beyond any question the most shattering sick joke I've ever come across" - Bosley Crowther, New York Times.

"It seems remarkably fresh and undated - a clear-eyed, irreverent, dangerous satire. And its willingness to follow the situation to its logical conclusion - nuclear annihilation - has a purity that today's lily-livered happy-ending technicians would probably find a way around. Its black and white photography helps, too, putting an unadorned face on its deadly political paradoxes. If movies of this irreverence, intelligence and savagery were still being made, the world would seem a younger place" - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times.
