BAM Senior Cinema Presents "Young Frankenstein"
Date: 10:00 am, Friday February 19, 2010
Cost: Free!
Senior Cinema at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) is a monthly series that allows seniors 65 and over to watch movie classics on the big screen while enjoying complimentary popcorn and soda.
Mel Brooks’ send-up of classic Hollywood horror films stars Gene Wilder as Frederick Frankenstein, grandson of the notorious mad scientist, who gets mixed up in the family business of re-animating the dead. When his creation (Boyle) is implanted with an “abnormal” brain, however, things go side-splittingly awry. Brooks’ parody uncannily recreates the look and feel of the 30s original with crisp, atmospheric black and white cinematography and features pitch-perfect supporting performances from the inimitable Madeline Kahn as Frankenstein’s frigid girlfriend, and Feldman as his bug-eyed servant, Igor.
