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

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: In anaglyph 3D as released, and you can tell why we moved on to digital 3D so shortly afterwards. A film with this many bright, flashy colours does not mesh with red and blue glasses; watch a slightly washed out 35mm print with those glasses on and you get mushy, grey porridge, like if Women Talking (a good movie) included a little extra purple and orange. The print is in tip-top condition as it should be, aside from one slice towards the epilogue and the same kind of right-side scratches as the Yi Yi print throughout.

 Plane 6/10

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

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★ NOTES: Screened as part of the Sight and Sound season, printed by the BFI’s National Archive as the National Film Archive. Very worn with two heavy cuts when Anju accompanies a dying Namiji, reels are presented with subtitles projected out of focus and/or with a warm or cool tint. But the print looks strikingly authentic, the picture sharper than most digital restorations; you can tell it was a direct, unfiltered reprint.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★½ NOTES: Screened by the Vito Project as part of a double bill with The Little Mermaid, dedicated to openly gay songwriter Howard Ashman. Several cuts, very scratchy and seemed to play in PAL speed, but goodness was watching it this way a heavenly experience. Sadly, no WB logo at the end or the beginning.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Screened as part of the Sight and Sound season, was intended to screen with an intro by BFI’s curator Hyun Jin Cho, but this was not possible. For the most part it looks gorgeous after a rough three-minute setup, although white scratches on the right are noticeable throughout, and the sound often ranges from slightly breaking up to buzzing every four to six seconds.

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

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: 2005 BFI print, screened as part of the Sight and Sound season. Print suffers from green lines overlaying the screen at least three times per reel, as well as a few typos (“thier”). DATE: January 21st 2023 CINEMA: BFI LOCATION: Southbank

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Opened on a 15 rating and ended on an R rating. Noticeable vertical scratches throughout but quite clean, sublimely colourful and crisp. Several frames are noticeably missing though, such as the moment the museum shootout commences. DATE: January 17th 2023 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

1 year, 11 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: Transferred by CPC. Undergone some wear due to how often it has been screened since release; skinny, wavy lines overlap the film throughout, adding more rough patches to already tattered photography. Entirely grayscale, even up to the 15 rating card. DATE: January 15th 2023 CINEMA: BFI LOCATION: Southbank
