Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Director: Mike Nichols

1966 / 131min / DCP

A middle-aged professor and his wife’s invitation to a younger couple to join them for a nightcap after a university faculty party leads to an evening of blood-on-the-walls bickering and sadistic head games in Nichols’s directorial debut, an adaptation of Edward Albee’s stage sensation of the same name. Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal, and Sandy Dennis round out the film’s quartet, their bouts of domestic warfare shot in stark, startling black-and-white by DP Haskell Wexler.
