“CRITIC'S PICK! EERILY PRESCIENT! History has been flattering to Kubrick's satire...
his ne pas ultra of black comedies still feels
like a peerless take on humanity's appetite for destruction.”
– David Fear, Time Out New York

“A masterpiece...
refuses to age, its ability to provoke simultaneous laughter and terror remains undiminished.”
– Bilge Ebiri, Moving Image Source

“AS CURRENT, HYSTERICAL, AND TERRIFYING AS EVER! A trenchant satire that posits international power players as goofy, dim-witted and mad, Dr. Strangelove is above all a showcase for the dynamic Peter Sellers, who was never given as strong a project as this in which to display his masterful comic range. Hilarious — and frighteningly plausible.”

“RECOMMENDED! PERPETUALLY RELEVANT... Kubrick’s funny, creepy social satire may be his key film, the one that reveals the director’s black-comic soul. Its mordant tone and deadpan depiction of human absurdity underlies the more sober films that followed.”
– The Onion AV Club

“Kubrick's classic not only hasn't dated one bit, it actually seems
more impressive today! Combines high farce with white-knuckle tension,
and throws in career performances from its excellent cast. ”
– New York magazine

(1964) Fearful the Russkies are fluoridating America’s drinking water to pollute “our precious bodily fluids,” Sterling Hayden’s General Jack D. Ripper unleashes those H-Bomb-bearing B-52’s. And then it’s showtime, as gung-ho General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott, in Oscar-worthy comedy tour de force: “No more than ten to twenty million people killed — tops!”), Colonel “Bat” Guano (Keenan Wynn), bomb-bustin’ cowboy Major T.J. “King” Kong (Slim Pickens), Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers) and President Merkin Muffley (also Peter Sellers: “Gentlemen, this is outrageous. I have never heard of such behavior in the War Room before!”) struggle to stave off Doomsday, with the eponymous Strangelove (“Mein Fürher! I can walk!” — still Sellers) in the wings. This 35mm print is from a new 4K digitally-created negative (the original neg was destroyed over 40 years ago), made by New York-based restoration specialists Cineric using the best surviving film elements — the result is the sharpest Strangelove you’ve ever seen. Approx. 93 minutes.

“Still one of the great adolescent pranks perpetrated in movies.”
– J. Hoberman

“Restoration gives you every opportunity to savor the absurdities of [Ken Adam’s] visual design, like the mock grandeur of the War Room’s giant roundtable, the huge ring of fluorescent lights and light-dotted wall maps — a child’s vision of the prerogatives of absolute power.”
– Scott Rosenberg

“Devastatingly funny — and at the same time nightmarishly frightening in its accuracy.
A prophetic look at the insanity of superpower politics which, like Orwell’s 1984,
has entered the lexicon of modern political discourse.”
– James Monaco
