Being There

Being There
“Hal Ashby's enigmatic masterpiece, a comedy, a tragedy, a political satire, and a one-sided love story, directly inspired a scene in Wonderstruck. When Peter Sellers’s character, Chauncey Gardiner, first leaves the house where he's lived his life, he's accompanied by the familiar sound of the music from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but in a disco version by Deodato (the real title of the music is “Also Sprach Zarathustra”), and this walk, and music, are used in a key moment in Wonderstruck.”—Brian Selznick
