Viewing Notes

Headed down to MBT for their Epic Film Series running through the holidays excited to see this on the big screen, one of my big screen bucket list movies. Definitely a movie that is that much better in a cinema. The restored DCP looked great. Such a terrific and tragic film. Love the drama between Colonels.
