HOW WILL YOU WATCH “RETURN”?
I love seeing movies in the cinema. I love being smaller than the screen, the sounds. I love giant action movies that are meant to overwhelm you with their sensations, and I also love films where the story is about smaller topics in everyday life (which, of course, also overwhelm you with their sensations).
I love going to the movies with other people, but I also love going by myself and being a stranger in a crowd. Either way, part of what is sexy about the cinema is feeling yourself brought together with people you don’t know, having a common experience and physically being alone together in the dark.
Everything I love about the theatrical experience I learned after I left home. I grew up in a town without a cinema, an Appalachian steel town in Ohio. There had been one, the Columbia Theater, but it closed when I was young. It must have closed in 1982, and “Tron” must have been the last movie they played because those letters stayed...
