PANIC ROOM d. David Fincher, 2002 presented by Transmissions at Dalston Superstore (23 JAN 19:00 – last few tickets left!).
“This week Transmissions presents a deep cut from the legendary David Fincher as the penultimate screening of our January season.”
“Intergenerational lesbian classic Panic Room (2002) sees Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart desperately trying to avoid interacting with Jared Leto in cornrows in this slick, relentless home-invasion thriller that showcases Fincher’s textbook precision and ambitious visual effects.”
“As always, Transmissions is a space designed to be a home to the trans community, and we’re here to welcome you every Monday. So come grab a drink at the bar, meet some regulars (maybe even become one?) and see why Transmissions is packed week after week.” (Transmissions)
