The Big Lebowski
If you haven’t seen The Big Lebowski on the big screen in glorious 35mm (or at all), now is your chance! Looking back, it seems fitting that The Big Lebowski was reviled by critics (with some notable exceptions of course). It is, after all, about a case of mistaken identity. After being attacked in the most peculiar way by thugs collecting a debt for a wife that Jeffrey Lebowski does not have, all The Dude wanted was his rug back. What follows is a misadventure for the ages, a tour through the greater Los Angeles metro area, from Venice to Pasadena and from Simi to Malibu. The Dude meets characters that you will remember, from Walter Sobchack to Jesus Quintana, and from Maude Lebowski to Donny. Both light and heavy, absurd and profound, The Big Lebowski is endlessly quotable and instantly memorable! Word of warning: Lebowski held the title of most movie f-bombs for a while, but a lot has happened since 1998!.
