The Big Lebowski

1074 Bank St, Ottawa, ON K1S 3X3, Canada

DESCRIPTION

25th Anniversary!

When “The Dude” Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, two thugs urinate on his rug to coerce him into paying a debt he knows nothing about. While attempting to gain recompense for the ruined rug from his wealthy counterpart, he accepts a one-time job with high pay-off. He enlists the help of his bowling buddy, Walter, a gun-toting Jewish-convert with anger issues. Deception leads to more trouble, and it soon seems that everyone from porn empire tycoons to nihilists want something from The Dude.

5 Stars! “Magnificent” (Total Film)

5 Stars! “Not only is this classic Coen Brothers, it’s exemplary Jeff Bridges.” (BBC)

5 Stars! “It’s a pastiche of Raymond Chandler’s labyrinthine noir, anchored not in the hard-bitten Bogart but the quixotic pothead Bridges (perfectly cast)…In a perfect world all movies would be made by the Coen brothers.” (Empire)

5 Stars! “the Coen brothers’ comic masterpiece” (The Guardian)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
