(PG-13) UK/USA – 1 hr 31 min
2013 · d. Alfonso Cuarón
Starring Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris
Hundreds of miles above Earth, a catastrophic accident leaves two astronauts (Sandra Bullock and George Clooney) stranded in the void of outer space. Tethered to each other and nothing else, the duo must somehow find a way to salvation. A jaw-dropping visual experience that demands big-screen viewing, Gravity earned Cuarón his first Academy Award for Best Director.
Shown in conjunction with the film course Crossing Borders: The Cinema of Alfonso Cuarón, this screening will be introduced by the course’s instructor, Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D.
