Film Details

100 min

Andrzej Wajda's English-language film of a novella by Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, aka Joseph Conrad, about a young man in his first command as a sea captain. A series of crises prove incredibly difficult for his new authority, for the sea is curiously becalmed and the crew is weakened by feverish malaria. When the first mate's fear convinces many that the ship is haunted and cursed by the malevolent spirit of the previous captain, the young man must cope with their superstition as well as the conspicuous absence of much-needed medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay for advance screenings?+

It depends on the screening. Many advance passes from studios and distributors don't cost anything, while others are ticketed - each listing shows what's required to attend.

Does a pass guarantee me a seat?+

Usually not. Most screenings are intentionally overbooked so the theater fills up, and seats go first-come, first-served at the door. A pass gets you in line, not a reserved seat.

How early should I arrive?+

Earlier than you think. For big releases, people line up well before showtime. Plan on getting there at least 45-60 minutes early, and earlier for major titles.

How do I get passes on Cinefind?+

Create a free account and add films to your Watchlist. Check "Hold passes for me," and Cinefind will try to claim passes for you automatically as soon as they're available.

What's the difference between an advance screening and a repertory screening?+

Advance screenings happen before a film's release, usually with a pass rather than a ticket. Repertory screenings are showings of already-released or classic films, typically ticketed by the theater.
