Kinsey
| Date: Sunday, 2nd November 2008 | ||

Venue: Hyde Park Picture House Time: 3pm | ||
Liam Neeson stars as Alfred Kinsey, who in 1948 irrevocably changed American culture with his book, Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male. Interviewing thousands of people about the most intimate aspects of their sex lives, Kinsey lifted the weight of secrecy and shame from a society in which sexual practices were mostly hidden.
Liam Neeson gives what may be a career best performance as the enigmatic Kinsey whose legacy remains potent today. Writer and Director Bill Condon manages to balance his own narrative with wit, insight and a truthful exploration of character. Laura Linney offers fine support as Kinsey’s student and future wife Clara McMillen.
