(R) USA – 1 hr 59 min
1987 · d. Adrian Lyne
Starring Michael Douglas, Glenn Close, Anne Archer
“I’m not gonna be ignored, Dan!” A married attorney (Michael Douglas) expected his tryst with a sexy publishing exec (Glenn Close) to be a casual, one-time thing, but she’s not content to be brushed off—and will do whatever it takes to have him for herself. A pop-culture touchstone, Adrian Lyne’s controversial hit was nominated for six Academy Awards and helped launch the erotic thriller boom of the ’80s and ‘90s.
Author Jessa Crispin will join us at the screening to discuss her new book, What Is Wrong with Men: Patriarchy, the Crisis of Masculinity, and How (Of Course) Michael Douglas Films Explain Everything, for sale on-site from Main Point Books.
