SCREENING: Regular DATE: June 30th CINEMA: Curzon LOCATION: Aldgate NOTE: Went up to see this at Bloomsbury on opening day, still yet to fully recover, but everyone in the area had to evacuate because of a bomb scare. In the Waitrose of all places. Got my ticket exchanged for this showing, as I wanted another day at home. The screen was empty, which is kind of a surprise given that you’d expect more people to notice this sort of film, but at least I could make as much noise as I wanted! I’d tested negative that morning, by the way.

Had to chance double-masking, talking as little as possible and going out on the Friday despite not having fully recovered, which surprisingly helped me recover easier than staying at home (where I was always focused on my stuffy chest) despite having to cough a couple of times during my stay up there. Not something I would want to do again if I ever caught the bug a third time.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: The opening montage of nightmares undergoes plenty of dust and crackling sounds – which surprisingly heightens the apocalyptic terror – but apart from four hints of damage, the rest of the print looks just fine. It was hard for one to tell most of the time that it was an actual print, considering that it was mostly shot on digital handheld.

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Mid-2000’s Park Circus print, and one of the more authentic ones. A few cuts and damaged frames and just one line of dialogue towards the end having lost some frames aside, it looks pretty great, except that every frame is well-worn at the bottom.
