Starring Peter Sellers at the peak of his powers, Stanley Kubrick’s darkly comic masterpiece remains as sharply relevant today as it was during the Cold War. 'Dr. Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb’ explores power, technology, and diplomacy in a world of disturbingly familiar fraught geopolitics, paranoia and nuclear brinkmanship.

The screening will open with a contextual introduction from an RMIT cinema studies academic, providing new insights and framing for viewers revisiting Dr. Strangelove or those discovering it for the first time.

Experience one of cinema’s most enduring critiques of militarism and human absurdity in all its darkly hilarious brilliance, on the big screen at The Capitol.
