ONSCREEN: DR STRANGELOVE

At the centre of Slapstick’s satirical comedy strand is Stanley Kubrick’s award – winning visionary cinematic satire of the cold war.  Stanley Kubrick’s dark satire follows the chaos after an unhinged US general orders a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union. As both nations scramble to prevent Armageddon, Peter Sellers delights in multiple roles, alongside George C. Scott, Slim Pickens, and James Earl Jones. Even though now 60 years old, Dr. Strangelove remains razor-sharp and worryingly relevant.
