{"product_id":"silent-running","title":"Silent Running","description":"\u003cp\u003eA visually stunning and heartfelt riposte to the emotional sterility of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, Douglas Trumbull's eco-themed Silent Running (1972) became one of the defining science-fiction films of the seventies. Bruce Dern excels as lonely hero Freeman Lowell, cast adrift in deep space with three robotic 'Drones' who become his 'amazing companions' on a journey 'beyond imagination'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMark Kermode, writing on his favourite science fiction film of all time, traces Trumbull's sentimental masterpiece from its roots in the counter-culture of the sixties to its enduring appeal as a cult classic in the 21st century. Drawing on a new interview with Trumbull, Kermode examines both the technical and thematic elements of this uniquely moving space adventure, which continues to be mirrored and imitated by film-makers today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis special edition features original cover artwork by Olly Moss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490214650229,"sku":"9781844578320","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781844578320.jpg?v=1786442098","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/silent-running","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
