Viewing Notes

First time seeing this in a theater and it was glorious! I had a big grin on my face for most of the screening. This is the first in Denver Film Society’s “Mann Made” retrospective they’re doing to lead into the release of his new film FERRARI on Christmas day. I can’t make it to all the screenings but next week I’ll be seeing THE KEEP (new DCP) and MANHUNTER (director-approved 35mm print).
