Cinema Dissection: “Some Like It Hot” with Robert Horton
March 12, 2016 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

Billy Wilder’s infamous cross-dressing comedy is widely regarded as one of the greatest comedies ever committed to film. Beyond the incredible performances by Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe, Wilder and his collaborators crafted an impeccable comedy that sizzles with great editing (a huge part of the comic timing), cinematography, and of course screenwriting. Film critic and historian Robert Horton is back to facilitate our group exploration into Some Like It Hot that is certain to uncover a deeper appreciation for all in attendance.

About Cinema Dissection
Cinema Dissection affords film lovers an exciting opportunity to dig deeper into the films that they love. Inspired by Roger Ebert’s annual Cinema Interruptus in Boulder, CO, attendees will participate with a facilitator in a six hour scene-by-scene, and sometimes shot-by-shot, deconstruction of the featured film. While the facilitator will certainly share their thoughts, anyone in the audience may call out ‘Stop’ and either ask a question of the group or make an observation around a certain shot or moment in the film.
Note: Participants are recommended to have seen “Blade Runner” in advance of the session. We will not be screening the film in it’s entirety before the dissection begins.
