DESCRIPTION:Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be a
	ssigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are a
	ssigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one hou
	r before the event.\n\n\nSorry to Bother You\nU.S.\, 2018 \n\nWhether writ
	er-director Boots Riley’s feature debut is set in a parallel universe or a
	 near-future Oakland it remains a bitingly funny and incisive satire of ou
	r world\, right now. With his life stalled out but a motivating woman (Tes
	sa Thompson) at his side\, Cassius (LaKeith Stanfield) begrudgingly takes 
	a cubicle job at a telemarketing company where he proves preternaturally a
	dept at appealing to his marks’ biases to rack up sales. In short\, he doe
	s an excellent “white voice.” In Riley’s painfully clear vision\, however\
	, capitalism offers only two options for entry: sell your freedom or sell 
	your conscience. As Cassius rises up the corporate ladder the choice becom
	es ever more stark as Riley injects ever heavier doses of surrealism and a
	bsurdity into the proceedings without breaking our emotional connection to
	 his well-drawn characters. \n\nDCP\, color\, 112 min. Director: Boots Ril
	ey. Screenwriter: Boots Riley. With: LaKeith Stanfield\, Tessa Thompson\, 
	Jermaine Fowler.\n\nEvent Website: https://cinema.ucla.edu/events/2024/08/
