4K restoration of Farewell My Concubine in a mostly Mandarin-speaking packed house.
Hadn’t seen since college days…incredible.

My Kids, 18 and 20 have seen both, and they both preferred Obsession to say the least.

Yeah, I saw it last week at HOME , really enjoyed it.
I didn’t read up on it beforehand and wasn’t entirely sure what was going on. Some people comment that the storyline is a bit lacking, it makes up for it viscerally.
It’s a bit Lynchian in ways.
Soundtrack, sound and location are good, there’s also a scene that features a legendary music equipment extra.
It’s the first Kane Parsons film i’ve seen, have you seen anything else he’s done?

I haven’t, isn’t he more of a YouTube guy? They went into a fair bit of depth on The Rest is Entertainment podcast. Really need to get to the cinema to see it but most of the showings are in the evening which I struggle to get to

Obsession. " Just be normal, Nikki". Sadly, for Bear that was never going to be a possibility. Brilliant take on the Midas story.

Saw it on Saturday. Incredible that it’s by a 20 year old. I’d definitely recommend it and not to read reviews before. I saw it with my 17yo daughter and the cinema was mostly kids under 25, and they sat in total silence and absorbed what is essentially an 80s Art House flick. I left thinking the kids are OK …

Obsession was filmed in our friends house weirdly - before it sadly went in the fires. My mates kids wouldn’t believe me till I showed them a photo tonight.

Backrooms was teriffic. 4/5 liminal spaces. Second @jolyon was pretty sweet to see in a house full of zoomers sitting rapt. Great score as well. Worth a trip to the cinema.

Managed to see it on Friday morning and thought it was brilliant. Had some thoughts on what it was about but looking on line I am way off

Had a row of Gen Zs in front of us munching the loudest snacks imaginable.
I liked it, stellar cast and great sets, but it definitely felt like a movie of a meme at times.

The next morning my son took me through the list of different theories / backstories - eye opening!

That really rips my knitting at the cinema that, people munching loudly or rustling crisp packets etc

I think I’ve said this before but the absolute low point was a couple eating a fucking burger and chips during Zone of Interest.

I had someone next to me open their laptop and work on a excel spreadsheet. I told him to close it which he did but then opened it up again 5 min later. I got shirty and he walked to the front row where he continued to work. A cinema in canary wharf so shouldn’t have been surprised.
