THE IMITATION GAME

April 10 – 15
THE IMITATION GAME
The Imitation Game stars Benedict Cumberbatch in an Oscar-nominated performance as British mathematician Alan Turing. Weaving together three periods in Turing’s life, The Imitation Game takes you into the beyond-top secret Bletchley Park compound, where Turing and a supergroup of fellow mathematicians, logicians, and cryptographers worked around the clock to decode the reputedly “unbreakable” German Enigma machine. Barely a decade after his visionary work in what would become known as artificial intelligence provided an invaluable advantage for the Allies in their eventual victory over the Axis, he

was prosecuted and convicted by his own government for being homosexual. Winner of the Oscar for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay (Graham Moore), Rodrigo Perez of Indiewire’s The Playlist calls The Imitation Game “a stirring and bittersweet story of brave men and women instrumental in winning WWII with their revolutionary device” that “never forgets the cost of Turing’s sacrifice and the tragedy of a national war hero being subjected to bigotry.” Dir: Morten Tyldum / 2014 / USA, UK / 114 min / DCP
