Why watch?
“It shares some qualities with a stage play like the tight locations and the intimate cast but the sweeping widescreen format and the visually arresting salt mines Oppenheimer uses for some of the film's more otherworldly scenes are desperately cinematic. Enhanced by the epic Hollywood tone and quality of the musical numbers (yes, the musical numbers) the resulting film feels decidedly grand.”

Hyde Park Pick: The End
Confined to a underground bunker salt mine, an elite family and their small entourage have hoarded fine art and expensive wines for a cataclysm that they may well have instigated. Sheltered by their own privilege, they try to maintain a cheery disposition despite the grim circumstances that surround them, when someone arrives to completely change their sheltered world.

The Film Stage
