The Incredible Shrinking Man - Poster

The Incredible Shrinking Man

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)


After a string of excellent creature features for Universal International, director Jack Arnold delivers his science fiction opus in this film based on the novel from classic sci-fi horror author Richard Matheson. While certainly intended as a showcase for the special and visual effects work of Clifford Stine, Arnold uses the story of a man who finds himself ever shrinking after being exposed to radioactive fallout from offshore testing to explore a story about the loss of masculinity, made metatextually significant with the casting of closeted homosexual Grant Williams. 

Here, the power of unknown science renders a man into a child in his own home, then a doll, and finally in a harrowing ending Arnold had to fight to retain, shrinking into infinitesimal nothingness. The ideal American man of the 1950s was king of his castle, but the incredible shrinking man is dwarfed and defeated by his.

Genre: Sci-fi, Horror

Director: Jack Arnold
Stars: Grant Williams, Randy Stuart, April Kent            
Running time: 1 hr 21 min

I Live in Fear

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: I Live in Fear (1955)


The only picture of famed director Akira Kurosawa to directly deal with the topic of nuclear war, I Live in Fear follows the story of a Japanese patriarch and factory owner played by Toshiro Mifune who becomes paralyzed with the fear of nuclear attack. He enacts a scheme to sell his factory and move his entire extended family to Brazil where he believes they will be safe, bringing him into conflict with everyone in his life he is trying to protect who now must decide if they embark on the difficult task of challenging their father's authority. 

This difficult drama depicts the theme of emasculation and helplessness in the face of overwhelming terror through a realistic lens, separating it from the genre trappings of our other three presentations. I Live in Fear depicts the crippling effect that the realities of life in our terrifying modern world can have on our psyche and our relationships.

Genre: Drama

Director: Akira Kurosawa
Stars: Toshiro Mifune, Takashi Shimura, Minoru Chiaki              
Running time: 1 hr 43 min
