A Shepherdstown Film Society presentation
One of the funniest comedies ever made!
A slacker known to his friends as “The Dude” gets mixed up in a convoluted kidnapping plot with an eccentric millionaire whose name he shares.
The Big Lebowski received mixed reviews at the time of its release, but reviews have since become largely positive and the film has become a cult favorite, noted for its eccentric characters, comedic dream sequences, idiosyncratic dialogue and eclectic soundtrack. In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” (Credit: Wikipedia)
We’ll celebrate the start of the Film Society’s 2024-25 season with a complimentary pre-film party at 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm. Big Lebowski costumes encouraged!
