The Big Lebowski

Jeff Lebowski, who simply calls himself the "Dude", is probably the laziest man in Los Angeles. A flabby old hippie who lives almost exclusively on White Russian cocktails, prefers to listen to whale songs and rarely puts down his joint. He spends the rest of his time bowling with his friends Walter and Danny. But the "easy living" comes to an abrupt end when the Dude is mistaken for the eponymous millionaire Jeffrey Lebowski and is haunted by two thugs...

"We wanted to tell a Chandler-esque story - how it moves episodically, and is about characters solving a criminal case; and we also wanted a hopelessly complex plot that is ultimately unimportant." - Joel Coen

Accompanying program on 26 April:

Before the film starts, there will be exciting background information and an introduction "into the world of The Dude or how the ball got rolling". Our guest is Johannes Sievert, director and professor of film at the Macromedia University in Cologne. Enjoy the movie and the atmosphere in casual Dude style with a bathrobe, pyjama pants, checked shorts and of course sunglasses or any other outfit you associate with the movie.
