Become a memberSydney Pollak’s psychological drama features Jane Fonda as one of a group of individuals whose desperation during the Great Depression leads them to enter a dance competition. However, the emcee of the event is willing to use their desperation to push them as far as they can go. This screening is part of a series /Philosophy and Film/. After the screening there will be a short talk from Daniel Whiting, from the Philosophy Department at the University of Southampton on the philosophical themes in the film, followed by a Q&A period. What philosophical issues are raised by The Shoot Horses, Don’t They? How are those issues resolved in the film, and how are those same issues addressed by philosophers, past or present? These questions will be explored in the short talk and ensuing Q&A. Also screening in this series are The Truman Show (Mon 12 May) and Rachel Getting Married (Mon 19 May).
