Toronto, ON
I already wrote about this one relatively recently, but what stood out to me this time was just how confident this is in its politics. We could use some of that these days. Wrap it up in a dystopian cyberpunk package with killer visuals like we have here and you would have a banger on your hands.
Watched on 35mm at the Revue. Nightmare Alley series. Seeing any film on a 35mm print is a treat, but especially this one, because of its scarcity both digitally and on physical media. I watched it when it popped up on the Criterion Channel earlier this year, alas it has left the channel since then, and isn’t available even to rent digitally, at least here in Canada. And it doesn’t have a Region A standard blu-ray release. All that to say, definitely check it out if you ever get a chance!
