This weeks BIG cinematic event is happening at SIFF Cinema!
It's the second part of Masaki Kobayashi's cinematic masterpiece The Human Condition Part 2: Road to Eternity. A big thank you to the folks at SIFF and SIFF Cinema for bringing this amazing experience to us lucky Seattle cinema connoisseurs! I mean, not only do we get this great film, but a beautiful new 35mm Cinemascope print! Woo-hoo! SIFF takes good care of us film nuts, so if you can, please try to make a contribution to SIFF by September 30th and help SIFF make their fundraising goal. Most movie lovers around the USA do not have something as sweet as what we've got here in Seattle with SIFF....let's make sure SIFF stays (and stays healthy!). Viva la SIFF!
Sooo...what other 35mm gems are in town showing on a big screen (where they belong) this week?
