The Aurora Film Society Presents: “Glengarry Glen Ross”

Glengarry Glen Ross [1992 / James Foley]
A sales contest at a shady real estate office causes desperation, backstabbing, and betrayal to bubble up among the salesmen. Oozing misplaced machismo, this adaptation of a David Mamet play is a pantheon of powerhouse performances. Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Jonathan Pryce, and especially Jack Lemmon deliver well-realized portraits of men driven to the edge of sanity and morality by the need to be who they think themselves to be. Whether intentional or not, Mamet’s script is a seething indictment of the dark side of the male ego as well as the toxic intersection of capitalism and identity.

The Aurora Film Society
Since 2018, the Aurora Film Society (AFS) has been broadening our community’s collective horizons by screening great movies together. For $70 a year, our subscribers are shown 12 carefully selected & curated movies, works that are historically important & groundbreaking, works that provide a window into far-flung cultures, works that are sometimes overlooked or unavailable to most audiences. The AFS puts a special emphasis on showing the sorts of luminous & idiosyncratic stories from beyond the mainstream that people of the Fox Valley area would normally not have a chance to see in a theatrical setting.

We screen every third Wednesday of the month at The Venue. Doors open at 6:30pm. Program begins at 7pm.
