The Graduate
The Graduate
Comedy/Drama/Romanticism ★★★ 1/2
The iconic film The Graduate - with the now legendary title track Mrs. Robinson from Simon & Garfunkel - can rightly be called a classic. The film was awarded the Oscar for Best Director (Mike Nichols) at the time and can now be released in a 4K restoration that makes the film sparkle visually like never before. During a party in honor of his graduation, the young and shy Benjamin is seduced by the mysterious Mrs. Robinson, the wife of one of his father's best friends. The secret escapade is complicated when Benjamin then falls in love with her daughter Elaine. The result: a tragicomic cat and mouse game full of confusion, desire and rebellion against the background of the American sixties.
