Together presents The Big Lebowlski, a night of movies, music and ten-pin action at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes.

No self-respecting fan of film or ten-pin bowling will want to miss a very special event taking place at the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes next month.

‘Together presents The Big Lebowlski’ is a Post-Valentines-Disco-Bowling-Mash-Up that will feature a fantastic line-up of DJs including Justin Robertson, Black Grass and Together All-Star DJs The Scarlet Pimpernel Vs Mannequin Doll, 10:4 Rubber Duckie and Nikolas Esselle.

The Coen brothers’ brilliantly deranged cult classic ‘The Big Lebowski’ will also screen, while White Russians will be available for all the dudes and dudettes that show up on the night (as well as cocktails, real English ale and lots and lots of cheap booze). On top of all that there will be a selection of cult films screening throughout the night, fancy dress (red is apparently the colour), a raffle, laughing gas and loads of other free stuff.

The Big Lebowlski will take place at the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes on February 15. Advance tickets are £6 and available at http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=200954

The Big Lebowski
This comic update of the world crystallised by Raymond Chandler charts the disastrous involvement of laidback dopehead Jeff ‘the Dude’ Lebowski (Bridges) in a kidnapping case involving the wife of his millionaire namesake (Huddleston). The Dude is hired as bagman and of course finds himself increasingly at risk as he makes his way about an LA populated by the rich, strange and dangerous. Nor do his bowling buddies help: Donny (Buscemi) is frankly several pins short of a strike; while Walter (Goodman), a crazed, irascible Viet vet, is so determined to stand his (and the Dude’s) ground that he causes more trouble than he solves. Immensely inventive and entertaining, the film may not have the enigmatic elegance or emotional resonance of Barton Fink or Fargo, but it’s still a prime example of the Coens’ effortless brand of stylistic and storytelling brilliance. Thanks to Roger Deakins’ gleaming camerawork, T-Bone Burnett’s eclectic soundtrack selection and the Coens’ typically pithy dialogue, it looks and sounds wonderful. Moreover, far from being shallow pastiche, it’s actually about something: what it means to be a man, to be a friend, and to be a ‘hero’ for a particular time and place.
