| Details | DISTRICT 9 (Neill Blomkamp, 2009, 35mm, 112 mins) This sci-fi political parable of refugees and state repression stars Sharlto Copley as a South African functionary who learns empathy (and a few fighting moves) after mutations make him a fugitive. Part eco-critique, part mockumentary, the sleeper hit earned four Oscar nominations and won praise for being “a brashly confident debut” (Tom Charity) that’s “audacious, original, and absolutely gut-wrenching” (Anupama Chopra). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive. The “Treasures from the Yale Film Archive” series is presented with support from Paul L. Joskow ‘70 M.Phil., ‘72 Ph.D. |
