‘2001: A Space Odyssey’
17.30, TCM
2001: A Space Odyssey. USA, 1968 (140 minutes). Director: Stanley Kubrick. Starring: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood.
In the first half hour of 2001 Not a single word is spoken; it is a narrative section that culminates in the most overwhelming ellipsis in the history of cinema: a bone thrown into the air by a pre-hominid transforms into a spaceship. The rest of the footage grows to the point of being unbelievable and Kubrick throws the spectator into a passionate philosophical framework that will reach the future of humanity, in the depths of the universe, accompanied by a monolith in which divinity beats, a space ballet, a computer more human than humans and a journey to the stars beyond infinity.
