Every man fights his own war.
Frida Cinema Film Club members are invited to very exclusive screenings of a new 4K restoration of Terrence Malick’s 1998 wartime masterpiece The Thin Red Line!
The story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who change, suffer, and ultimately make essential discoveries about themselves during the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal. It follows their journey, from the surprise of an unopposed landing, through the bloody and exhausting battles that follow, to the ultimate departure of those who survived.
Featuring Sean Penn, Jim Caviezel, Adrien Brody, Nick Nolte, Ben Chaplin, George Clooney, John Cusack, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Elias Koteas, and John Travolta, The Thin Red Line is an incredible mix of visceral combat photography and Malick’s signature eye for nature. Hans Zimmer’s haunting score tops everything off, making it a transcendent meditation on humanity and violence that goes way beyond the “war movie” genre.
