‘Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair – Year 2’

  • RELEASED IN: 1969
  • 120 MINUTES
  • DIRECTED BY: Sydney Pollack

ABOUT THE FILM:

In Sydney Pollack’s relentlessly bleak portrait of Depression-era America, Jane Fonda, Michael Sarrazin, and Bruce Dern star as contestants in a dance marathon, a dangerous fad spawned by the desperation of the time. The dancers are tasked with outlasting other couples by staying on their feet for thousands of hours in front of a live audience, in the pursuit of a $1,500 prize. Pollack examines the farthest reaches of exhaustion and misery in this unflinching and modern look at American society.
