DESCRIPTION:\n	Dir. William Cameron Menzies. 1936\, 97 mins. Imported 35mm 
 print from the British Film Institute. With Raymond Massey\, Edward Chapma
 n\, Ralph Richardson. Although the streamline moderne style\, which has co
 me to define Things to Come in popular imagination\, appears only in its f
 inal part set in 2036\, it makes a profound visual impact. The 'age of mec
 hanical perfection' (in H.G. Wells's words) is overwhelmingly white in bot
 h architecture and clothing\, cutting a serene image of a world cleansed o
 f manual labor\, disease and suffering. Wells\, on whose 1933 book the fil
 m was based\, prophesied that clothing of the enlightened future would be 
 'austerely beautiful\,' machine-made to measure\, and utterly disposable. 
 He nevertheless elaborated more on the social and cultural conditions at t
 he root of the new fashions than questions of style per se\,allowing the f
 ilm’s costume designers to do their own bit of magic. As the film travels 
 forward through a hundred years\, the costumes perfectly register social a
 nd political progress\, as well as regression. The final look is an intrig
 uing fusion of angular modernism\, elements of heroic warrior wear\, and c
 lassical garb\, as seen in the 1930s couture. \n	\n	\n	Tickets: $15 ($11 s
