Viewing Notes

I think this is on Netflix but I own the Blu-ray! Can’t believe it’s been ten years!

I love how this movie is framed like comic book panels. So many colors and excellent composition within those frames. It’s like pop art. I wish I had seen this more times in the theater. Also sad that no rep theater has brought this back in recent years.

Would love to see that 70mm print some day.
