EUGENE O'NEILL'S THE FIRST MAN
Dir: Hardeep Giani | United Kingdom/United States | Feature | 2024 | 140 min
The first-ever film adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s rarely performed play by the same name. A respected scientist in 1920s Connecticut is torn between ambition and love, as obsession, grief, and betrayal threaten to unravel his carefully constructed world. World-renowned anthropologist Curtis is consumed by grief over his young daughters' deaths. He finds solace in immersing himself in preparations for his upcoming expedition to Asia, where he aims to unravel the mystery of "The First Man." However, he must confront an undercurrent of family conflict as he battles against his relatives' unsettling suspicions that his wife Martha is carrying his best friend Bigelow's child.
