Quality Films at a Movie Theatre: Parajanov Films (May 13-14)

That’s right. I’m fortunate enough to live close to a movie theater, that consistently plays movies that are good enough to be discussed on this website.

It’s called the New Beverly Cinema, usually double bills, for about 7 dollars an admission. It’s really a cinephile’s dream.

There is something to be said about watching a movie in a theatre vs. a dvd. Comforts aside, watching it in a theatre is a quite a different experience. And since this theatre is quite special, (in other words, not many people will show up for Bergman’s Smiles of a Summer Night on a Saturday night), there is an aura hanging over the heads of the audience, a sort of union of cinephiles based on the love of movies.

So the topic really is….where do you get to see your favorite movies?

Report back about the print condition…I’m very curious. I wonder who has the theatrical rights to this currently (maybe Kino along with the DVD).

Btw, by quality I was referring to the auteur-status movies as compared to the regular junk in movie theatres nowadays…But ya, I’m going on Thursday, so we’ll see how it turns out…Will probably write a review on the movie as well…
