This screening is part of a larger program that celebrates the 160th anniversary of the publication of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “Notes from Underground.” Martin Scorsese’s 1976 film is the novel’s most famous US adaptation. University of Iowa Adjunct Assistant Professor Anna Barker will lead a post-screening discussion immediately following, where she will discuss the way the film explores the issues of underage woman trafficking, prostitution, gun violence, war caused PTSD, and urban decay of the U.S. in the 1970s through the prism of Dostoevsky’s tale of moral decline and social alienation.
This event is part of the 2024 Iowa City Book Festival and is sponsored by the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature.
If you need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this event, please contact the Library.
