Jaws dropped.

Apparently this happens often enough that projectionists would do well to always have backups.

Here’s a depressing anecdote for you, Brian: the programmer at LACMA tells me he got a rash of complaints after screening BARRY LYNDON on 35mm because people said it didn’t look as good as their Blu-rays. What is this world coming to?!?

Apparently a similar thing happened with the subtitles at a DCP showing of The Mattei Affair at the SFIFF a couple weeks ago. Luckily this meant they decided to screen a 35mm print for the second screening, which I was then able to catch.

The last DCP I saw–Rossellini’s STROMBOLI–had a corrupt hardrive and the subtitles cut out after two minutes, even after restarting everything.

I am awaiting official word on whether they will be shown via 35mm or DCP, or a mixture. I’ve been hearing rumors in all directions. I’m thrilled that Stephen Horne will be accompanist for many of them, however. I’ll certainly see at least some. If they’re 35mm, I might well see them all. I’ve only seen three of them before, and one of those (the Lodger) only on home video.

The Mann is one of my very favorites of his- perhaps his best non-Western?

I am not sure about the transfers but I am told that all films have been ‘remastered’, a claim I have seen too many times on Indian classics only to be disappointed. Anyway, at least, these films are available now. They also have English subtitles.

You’ve gone far beyond the journalistic cliches that I’ve found in most reviews of Bresson films, and helped me see them in a new light. Thank you.
