“As smart and cautionary now as it was in the '70s.” - Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine
“Provides the most observant study of working journalists we're ever likely to see in a feature film.” - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Thursday, December 18, 5:30 p.m. & Saturday, December 20, 5:15 p.m. | Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman star as Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, as they investigate the break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building. With the help of the shadowy informant Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook) and given latitude by the Post’s editor Ben Bradlee (Oscar-winner Jason Robards), the pair “follow the money” all the way to the White House. Pakula’s taut political drama balances an actor and story-driven film with a strong visual style.
