Jeff Bridges is the Dude, a drop out looking for his virtue, and his rug, in the moral free-zone of contemporary Malibu.
Come dressed as your favourite character. White Russians available as an add-on with your ticket.
The plot — thick as Kahlua — accommodates nihilist former krautrockers, fluxus artists, porn moguls, tearaway Minnesota farmgirls, paraplegic fake millionaires, TV Western writers in iron lungs, neo-Jewish Vietnam vets, paedophile bowlers and Saddam Hussein… Key ingredients include the endlessly quoteable dialogue, an inspired cast of actors clearly relishing their lines, and T Bone Burnett’s jukebox soundtrack.
