Review

Now that Mad Men has hit 1966, cast your mind back and remember—or imagine, if you weren’t there— that mainstream culture is only just going to ratify the notion of a “generation gap.” Then go watch The Graduate on the big screen at the Film Forum. See the grotesque materialism through the eyes of Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock. Be agog at Anne Bancroft’s Mrs. Robinson in some of the most hilariously icky seduction scenes ever filmed. See Mike Nichols (with help from Simon & Garfunkel) take control of the Zeitgeist. See the mood go dark—darker than you remember. Is Benjamin a clown, a martyr, or a stalker and potential assassin.
