"Gattaca"
Saturday, March 14th, 6:00 p.m.
"Gattaca" is a 1997 American dystopian science fiction film written and directed by Andrew Niccol in his feature directorial debut. Ethan Hawke (Vicent Freeman), Uma Thurman (Irene Cassini) and Jude Law star in this futuristic sci-fi thriller about a world where genetic engineering is used to create a rigid class system ("valids" vs. "invalids") that determine all important aspects of a person's life, including choice of a career, relationships and reproduction.
Can the human spirit, determination, and the unpredictable nature of life triumph over predetermined DNA? Will Vincent Freeman realize his dream of going into space? Will he be able to pursue his love of Irene?
"This is one of the smartest and most provocative of science fiction films, a thriller with ideas." -- Roger Ebert
