Vancouver, BCI've had this on my watchlist forever, but it's certainly for the better that I only got to it now! It's chock-full of movie nerd tidbits, so much so that there's probably not a perfect time in one's movie watching journey to watch this and ensure you pick up on everything. I imagine it'll only grow in esteem when I inevitably re-watch it, but I recommend to go in as blind as possible for the first watch.
Screened as part of the Total Cinema programming at the VIFF Centre. Also, admission was discounted, since apparently it's national cinema day, so there's that!
