- 7PM
Alfonso Cuaron’s prescient vision of societal collapse unfolds in a not-too-distant future where ecological catastrophe and terrorism have left humans infertile and on the verge of extinction, countries have dissolved, and a global refugee crisis has unleashed anarchy. A single, miraculously pregnant woman offers the last hope for survival—if she can find her way to safety. The explosive vérité style and bravura long takes lend this all-too-plausible apocalyptic thriller a harrowing, visceral immediacy.
Go to the movies just once a month and a BAM membership pays for itself.
