Viewing Notes

Wasn’t sure I was gonna be able to attend this but I made and it was a late night. 35mm print looked good and the guest intro was one of the digital compositers for the movie, his first job in Hollywood, so he had some neat stories to share. Besides viewing this with a theater full of college students seeing for the first time, this movie did the magical thing of making forget everything else on mind, which many movies sadly do not.

So 10 out 10 for not just an amazing film that no one understood at the time of its release but also for giving me a much needed 2 hour break in my headspace.
