It has been decided that 'The Big Lebowski' will be screened nationwide for a limited two weeks starting Friday, May 29, 2026, as part of the revival screening project by Filmarks, one of Japan's largest movie, drama, and anime review services!
As the 16th installment of 'Filmarks 90's,' 'The Big Lebowski' is directed and written by the brilliant Coen Brothers (Joel and Ethan Coen), who won the Academy Award® for Best Original Screenplay for 'Fargo.' The film still boasts a cult-like popularity today as a masterpiece of absurdist comedy depicted with an offbeat touch.
Set in Los Angeles in 1991, it portrays the outcomes of a middle-aged man, "The Dude," who gets wrapped up in a bizarre kidnapping incident after being mistaken for a millionaire with the exact same name. Jeff Lebowski, aka "The Dude," is an unemployed, middle-aged man living a carefree, day-to-day existence. One night, two thugs suddenly break in and threaten him, demanding he "pay back his wife's debt." But the Dude is single and has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. It soon becomes clear that he was mistaken for a millionaire with the exact same first and last name. Unable to suppress his anger, the Dude, egged on by his bowling buddy Walter to "demand compensation," marches into the millionaire Lebowski's mansion, only to be flatly turned away. A few days later, the millionaire's wife, Bunny, is kidnapped, and the Dude is unexpectedly asked to deliver the ransom money──.
A myriad of eccentric and quirky characters appear one after another, creating a series of commotions that roll in unexpected directions. The story, which gently derails through a layering of strange events, is the true essence of the Coen Brothers. It is a masterpiece overflowing with humor, where a somewhat goofy, absurd crime drama highlights the comical nature of human beings.
Starring as "The Dude," Jeff Lebowski, is Jeff Bridges, who delivers a wonderfully aloof performance. Joining him is a unique cast including John Goodman as his short-tempered friend Walter who is obsessed with the Vietnam War, along with Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The bizarre and funny human drama woven by these highly eccentric characters, typical of the Coen Brothers' works, leaves a striking impression.
The screening will be for a limited two weeks starting Friday, May 29, 2026. Please take this opportunity to watch this highly popular 90s cult comedy masterpiece on the theatrical screen!
Furthermore, an original attendee gift is planned to be distributed for this project.
