Viewing Notes
Finally went to a Nick D Movie Club event over at Muvico… figured I had to catch this one since I’ve been wanting to see this film for a long while. Kinda expected it wasn’t gonna be a print. Blu-ray projection was fine but doesn’t utilize the full screen, which was unfortunate. At least it was in premiere seating so that was nice. Really cool film for a variety of reasons. Liked the Q&A afterwards.
