Viewing Notes
First time viewing and what a way to see it for the first time! Had this circled on my calendar from the moment Ron sent me the new schedule. This movie is so good that I am disappointed in myself for not viewing it sooner but it was v cool to see this on the big screen with a nice 35mm print.
All the stuff in and around NYC looks amazing. It’s a 1990 release that looks like a 1970s film. I know it’s only a decade removed but it really looks great.
This was procured initially for a film class at CU what a bunch of lucky fuckers. Of course none showed up for this screening since they can see it in class tomorrow.
