Max the Movie Guy rated Just Super

 Just Super 4/10

1 year, 9 months ago

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

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: This print is in an impressive condition for the most part, except a few cuts are present, a permanent green scratch appears at the bottom when Jim is driving in the rain and gets thinner with every following reel, and the absurd climax overwhelms the sound system. However, when Thurston is giving Donnie some advice at the bar, the brightness shoots halfway down and remains that way for the rest of the reel. I suspected the bulb in the projector had suddenly dimmed, then had a feeling that the next reel would lighten up the film again, and I still reacted like this when the next reel opened on Stanley reciting Carmen in overwhelming brightness compared to the preceding shot of Jimmy.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★ NOTES: 2000 BFI print – its first legal release in the UK. Presented on a print that plays just fine but looks heavily worn out, which is arguably the ideal way to experience this film. A brief sequence of frames during the scene outside the mansion has taken a hint of water damage, a shot of the Duke during the wedding scene briefly dips to black, and before the reel in which Signora tells the story of shit eating nears its end, the film takes some prominent damage as she describes eating faeces.

FORMAT: 15/70mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: Screened for the Christopher Nolan season. Also played without fault though experienced even more dust getting stuck to the projector than the last screening, including those specks that as a child I thought were flies, and a couple of frames early on experienced significant damage.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: Plays seamlessly despite a single scratch overlaying the whole print. Third reel is in a noticeably different tint to the previous two. But most importantly, gosh, does this film look stunning when you watch it this way. DATE: May 3rd 2023 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End
