12 Years a Slave
Opens Friday, October 25
2hr 13mins // directed by:Steve McQueen // featuring:Chiwetel Ejiofor, Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch
Based on an incredible true story of one man's fight for survival and freedom.
In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery. Facing cruelty (personified by a malevolent slave owner, portrayed by Michael Fassbender), as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. In the twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon's chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) will forever alter his life.
The New York Times
An argument about American slavery that, in image after image, both reveals it as a system (signified in one scene by the sights and ominous, mechanical sounds of a boat water wheel) and demolishes its canards, myths and cherished symbols. - Manohla Dargis
