Viewing Notes
Another movie crossed off my big screen bucket list. Sadly it was not the promised 35mm print but a DCP, which was disappointing. However, I will say that this was the best I’ve ever seen this movie. I’ve only seen it on TV and DVD and VHS and it’s always been grainy and too dark. But this digital pack was amazingly crisp. Really happy to finally see one of my favorite films on the big screen and with a good, respectful crowd.
