Screening of 'Digger', a satirical dark comedy about the world's most powerful man trying to save humanity from the disaster he has unleashed.
Digger screens at Curzon Oxford this Sunday 18 October, with two showings throughout the day. It's a satirical dark comedy that puts the most powerful man in the world at the centre of the frame, watching him try to present himself as humanity's saviour while the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything around him. The title itself is a bit of a tell — Digger — and the whole thing sits in that uncomfortable space where the joke is as much about the man as it is about the world he's left behind.
It's a film that works on the gap between how the lead wants to be seen and what he's actually done, so if you're in the mood for something that takes a swing at power and the way it tries to rewrite its own history, this is right up that alley. The satire is dark, the comedy is dry, and the premise is a pretty direct look at a familiar kind of public performance.

There are two times to choose from on the day: 11.20am for an early start, or 4.40pm if you'd rather leave it until the afternoon. It's rated 15, so it's not one for the kids — keep that in mind if you're planning a family outing. Both screenings are at Curzon Oxford, and with the two slots, you can pick whichever fits your Sunday best.
