The Aurora Film Society brings “Glengarry Glen Ross” to the screen at The Venue (21 S. Broadway) on September 16th at 7 p.m.
A sales contest at a shady real estate office causes desperation, backstabbing, and betrayal to bubble up among the salesmen. Oozing misplaced machismo, this adaptation of a David Mamet play is a pantheon of powerhouse performances. Al Pacino, Alan Arkin,
Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Jonathan Pryce, and especially Jack Lemmon deliver well-realized portraits of men driven to the edge of sanity and morality by the need to be who they think themselves to be. Whether intentional or not, Mamet’s script is a seething indictment of the dark side of the male ego as well as the toxic intersection of capitalism and identity.
Join us on September 16th at The Venue. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film begins shortly after 7 p.m. The screening is open to subscribers and box office ticket holders.
