Designing the Movies: Seconds
If you like Severance, you’ll love John Frankenheimer’s horrific tale of rebirth!
Based on David Ely’s sci-fi novel, this subversive 1966 classic is a landmark in experimental narrative and visual style. The psychological horror story follows a disaffected middle-aged banker who pays a secretive corporation to undergo a procedure and assume a completely new body and identity to live out his dream life as an artist (Rock Hudson). Imagine a Twilight Zone episode, on acid. Presented with an introduction by series host Nathalie Atkinson. $17/$14
