The Reds

Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Gene Hackman, Oscars for Best Director, Best Actress in a Supporting Role and Best Cinematography, and nine more nominations for one the most majestic films in modern history. Through the story of John Reed, an idealistic American journalist who is sucked into the whirlpool that is the October Revolution and a tumultuous love affair, Beatty managed the impossible: in the midst of the Cold War days of the Reagan administration, he convinced Hollywood to finance a genuinely Marxist (and unforgettable) epic film about love and revolution. 35-year anniversary screening.
