To celebrate the launch of the 2009 Bank of Ireland QFT Student Membership Scheme, QFT is holding a special students-only screening of the classic off-the wall Coen Brothers’ comedy featuring cinema’s quintessential slacker, Jeff ‘The Dude’ Lebowski.
With its unique combination of Leninist philosophy, mistaken identity, a kidnapping plot, a vast array of bizarre characters and a deep love of bowling, there is much to love about The Big Lebowski.
Jeff Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski, known as ‘The Dude’, a laid-back, easygoing burnout who happens to have the same name as a millionaire whose wife owes a lot of dangerous people a whole bunch of money – resulting in the Dude having his rug soiled, sending him spiralling into the Los Angeles underworld. The stellar supporting cast includes John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and John Turturro.
In a tribute to ‘his Dude-ness’, the evening will feature Wii Bowling, White Russians, quality soft furnishings and the chance for you to sign up for your free 2009 Bank of Ireland QFT Student Membership. All this for £3.50 for students or just £3 for QFT Student Members.
‘The Big Lebowkski Shindig’, Saturday 7th November, 9pm til late.
Please show your student ID at box office for this event.
