Week three of our James Spader retrospective brings one of his best and most beloved films to our basement screen, with a special guest introduction from culture writer, lecturer, and video essayist Rae Bamber.
Secretary (2002) stars Spader as an uptight lawyer whose relationship with his newly hired secretary (Maggie Gyllenhaal) begins to move beyond the bounds of business as they discover their unusual interests are one and the same.
Join us for one of the all-timer screen romances in a film that intelligently examines the desires that drive us, and the differences that might just make two people perfect for each other.
Who's to say that love needs to be soft and gentle?
