Reel Love

Back in the day, we haunted a moviehouse that changed its marquee every single day. And not only flicks, but entire bills of fare. One day, there’d be a Peter Sellers triple-bill, the next a pairing of 2001 and Barbarella. Today’s movie-biz mechanics have made such an approach wildly unfeasible, which is why we believe the film-festival circuit has exploded in recent years. That primal urge to bond with fellow aficionados over a smart flick and buttered popcorn has survived the death of the repertory house.
