Quiz Show
Movie Information
In Brief: In the age of alleged Russian election tampering and WikiLeaks, the quiz show corruption at the heart of Robert Redford's 1994 Best Picture nominee seems almost quaint. At the time, Quiz Show was a scathing indictment of the dark underbelly of the entertainment industry, a valid proxy for 1950s American capitalism writ large. While excellent performances from John Turturro and Ralph Fiennes have weathered well and Redford's direction was solid, what seemed like a revolutionarily cynical film over two decades ago has lost some of its impact when viewed from a modern context. This screening was originally scheduled for June 11.
