Yeah, I want that for my film collection though what I really want for Xmas is a new bookshelf.
It’s a really good edition.
And funny you mentioned a shelf. That’s exactly what I need as well. These stacks are getting ridiculous!
Been a long time since seeing this. One of the most powerful films on institutional mental illness ever made.
It surprised me when they sent the announcement and coverage copy. Like you, I haven’t revisited it it ages. It’s not an all-timer for me, but I was reminded of why it is held in such high regard.
