Some of my favorite movie-going experiences weren’t ones I was looking forward to for months but ones where a friend had an extra ticket or someone said “you would like this” and I went in totally blind.
Specifically, last night I saw “Ash Is Purest White” followed by a q&a with director Jia Zhangke. A great film with an absolutely knock out lead performance by Zhao Tao. I didn’t know any of these names before last night.
Take a chance!
then watching the trailer post, reliving all the fun [or not] times you just had.
Did this recently with Anatomy of a Fall and wow, would have been a completely different [bad] experience if I had seen the trailers first.
Go into this as blind as possible. im always trying to explain this film to people and I just can’t, it’s an experience. Try it out. Maybe you’ll hate it, but you’ll come out of it asking yourself what the hell did I just watch.
