The Graduate
The Graduate
First class entertainment comedy with serious overtones. Director Mike Nochols delves into incest, alienation, the generation gap, a deja vu critique of suburban society. A virtuoso performance from Anne Bancroft with Dustin Hoffman in his debut role. Classic Simon and Garfunkel music makes The Graduate the trend-setter of many American social comedies. Despite its vintage, the ideas have never been more relevant. Wednesday 29 March 2.15 pm.
