I love the synopsis that OUTFEST gave us! - Few movies are a cross between Galaxy Quest, The Ice Storm, Space: 1999, Happiness, and Far From Heaven, but few movies are anything quite like Space Station 76, a brilliantly daffy film from first-time director Jack Plotnick. Mixing a perfectly absurdist view of 1970s science fiction with equal parts farce and tragedy, this film has a heart beating within its beige polyester astronaut uniforms. The arrival of Jessica (Liv Tyler) on Space Station 76 sets off any number of revelations among the crew, from the closeted captain (Patrick Wilson) to the unhappily married mechanic (Matt Bomer), whose wife (Marisa Coughlan) is falling for her analyst – who happens to be a robot. Comedy, tragedy, cigarettes, disco, zero gravity, asteroids, and Qiana – “Space Station 76” has it all.
