Doomsday Film Fest: ATOMIC ANXIETIES Screening "Testament"
ATOMIC ANXIETIES
Testament
Lynne Littman, U.S., 1983; 90 min
Arguably the most disturbing of the films made in the early 80s dealing with the aftermath of a nuclear war. Starring Jane Alexander, the film shows what happens to a suburban family in the Pacific Northwest after a nearby nuclear attack. As it turns out, those killed by the initial blast are the lucky ones; Alexander and her family must suffer through radiation poisoning and sickness, the daily diminution of life this causes, and, for Alexander, the eventual deaths of those around her. Quietly powerful and never overstated. "A gentle, loving, noble, angry and heartrending film." Geoff Andrew, Time Out London
Followed by a panel discussion with guests:
Joshua Rothkopf (Time Out New York)
Andrew Rosenthal (chaplain at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital)
Christian Lorentzen (New York Observer)
Gabriel McKee (The Gospel According to Science Fiction)
