Here's one to bring a date to. I am a big fan of musicals and chances to see them in their big screen glory are all too rare, so this is a treat for me. I've heard about Jacques Demy's film since I was in school, missed the re-issue and didn't want to see it on a small screen. So this is a thrill. And its perfect partner is Wong Kar-Wai's 1994 film CHUNGKING EXPRESS. Ironically, I saw both ASHES OF TIME and FALLEN ANGELS on their original release, but missed this one. I even own two copies of it on DVD, but again, a big screen outing was always calling me. Am preparing to swoon.
Screening hosted by Edgar Wright & James Gunn
