Take Shelter
“**** … Masterful filmmaking … an Oscar nomination for Shannon would be well deserved.” –Roger Ebert
After Curtis (Michael Shannon) begins having terrifying dreams about an encroaching, apocalyptic storm, he begins building a storm shelter, keeping his visions secret from his wife Samantha (Jessica Chastain) and his daughter Hannah, as his behavior becomes increasingly erratic. An unforgettable metaphor during an era of substantial change, TAKE SHELTER has been a staple on 2011’s top ten lists. “Taut, unsettling, haunting and powerful … unquestionably qualifies as one of the finest films of the year … Jeff Nichols has given audiences something genuinely thoughtful and provocative to talk about.” –Washington Post (U.S., 2011, 120m, 35mm, Sony Pictures Classics)
