just saw Tokyo Drifter at the Music Box Theatre. completely wild fucking movie with great sets
also a great movie for me to watch right now when I'm planning on buying a vintage suit sometime in the next week or so
@prumm ooohh i have a mutual on twitter who also went to this screening i think.. I really must get around to watching it 😌
@mostportem oh neato! yeah the theater was surprisingly packed for this movie, especially on a Monday night. I highly recommend it, but the context of the studio it came from and the conditions it was made under are vital. the blurb on the theatre's website is a good intro, but they actually had a guy who just wrote a book on Suzuki come out and speak on the film for five to ten minutes before it started. https://musicboxtheatre.com/films-and-events/tokyo-drifter
@prumm oh man that's extremely fun.. it must be so nice to have places close by that are so invested in the historic context of film as this.. I'm glad you had a good time 😊
also they showed this on 16 mm film, apparently for the first time in the US for several decades. it looked really good, but I think that also means it was using the on-film subtitles that must have been quite old. at one point the main character called someone else "aniki" which got translated as "bro" and made everyone in the audience laugh
