Screening & Discussion : Thelma and Louise

The Lumsden Club is delighted to host a screening and discussion of one of the most revolutionary classics of feminist film history ! Synopsis : Two stay-home wives decide to escape their boring routine and run away together for a road trip that will have an unexpected turn of events. After committing murder, the two friends simulate a vacation and decide to run away together and escape justice. Ridley Scott smuggles his political ideas under a seemingly fun synopsis. Thelma and Louise was revolutionary for its time, the first film to tell the truth about women's lives in the 60s and early 70s in a sarcastic yet sincere manner. From its opening shot to its iconic and breath-taking final frame, Thelma & Louise is a timeless and unforgettable ride of female empowerment, friendship, and freedom. Two women are able to live on their own terms for a single lost weekend, while the world constrains them to live their lives in submission.
