A Nightmare on Elm Street

Description

By Wes Craven. Starring Robert Englund, Johnny Depp, Heather Langenkamp. Screening presented by NIFFF. In the upscale suburb of Elm Street, teenage girls are haunted by an oppressive nightmare where a clawed monster attacks them. Suddenly, this monster, believed to be the reincarnation of a psychopathic killer, intervenes in reality... With A Nightmare on Elm Street, Wes Craven introduces a new evil icon into the horror genre pantheon: Freddy Krueger, a murderer with a burned face, wearing a red and green striped sweater, and with claws sharp as razor blades. "Craven's intuition was based on a brilliant idea: horror is fundamentally an extension of a nightmarish vision and, in a way, the product of the tormented minds that have imagined it, apprehended it, both feared and desired it – the evil born from the fascination it exerts" (Nathalie Dray, Libération, 2017). USA · 1984 · 91' · original version with French subtitles - format: 35mm @ CAP 1 – Capitole, Freddy Buache Room (CAP 1) - indicative price: 10.-
