“Dr. Strangelove”

A classic by Stanley Kubrick, “Dr. Strangelove” will screen today 3pm at the microcine room of the CCR. The film stars Peter Sellers, playing not one but… three roles!: an army captain, the president of the United States and an advisor to the president.

In the context of the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union –the film was released in 1964– the film is a satire on the suspicion and paranoia prevailing around the idea of a nuclear war that might bring the world to its demise. Due to the quality of the film and its performances, the film ranks among the 100 best films of the twentieth century, according to the American Film Institute.

The talk-debate “Von Neumann and Nash: the Origins of Game Theory and the Cold War” will be held after the screening by PhD in mathematics Juan Pablo Pinasco, an associate professor at the department of mathematics of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires and researcher for CONICET.
