THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.

Troy Story: on the career-spanning resonance and secular magic of Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY, which, like so many of his great films, despairs over a point of no return — a time when mortals, for sheer cruelty, have left the gods behind. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Christopher Nolan Has Always Been Making “The Odyssey”
In a starry, stirring adaptation of Homer’s epic, the director’s signature realism grounds, without dispelling, the drama’s emotional and mythological power.

The program notes for De Palma's THE UNTOUCHABLES (1987) on 70mm at @filmlinc.bsky.social had me choked up before the screening even began. Restorations are great, but experiencing the imperfections of a vintage print is sacred. My first big screen rewatch in 39 years and it was perfect. #FilmSky
A screen cap from the Film Society website. From the program notes: Please note: FLC is screening from one of the original release prints, which uses a vintage magnetic soundtrack.
Audio tracks are stored on magnetic stripes attached to the film print itself and are more prone to degrade than optical soundtracks. It will sound louder and richer compared to most 35mm prints and many digital sound systems, but because it's an older analog format you'll also hear the wear-and-tear of its many years going through projectors. This is part of the experience, so let every hiss, softness, pop, intermittent silence and visual imperfection remind you of the many audience members who saw this same print before you.
