Two episodes of The Prisoner

This special late-night screening shows two episodes of one of Britain’s most iconic cult dramas of the 1960s. The Prisoner is a surreal combination of spy thriller, and Kafkaesque sci-fi.

Time Magazine named it one of the 100 Best TV Shows of all time, commenting:

“You can trace Lost, The X-Files, and every other paranoid show-puzzle in the last few decades to this enigmatic story of Number 6 (Patrick McGoohan) and his attempt to escape a charming little gulag by the seaside.”

This event was programmed as part of the AV 08 Festival. For more information about AV 08 events held at the Star and Shadow Cinema, click here.
