    At Belcourt Theater in Nashville. Screened in 35mm. 

    With over 100 people in my screening, I genuinely believe 50+ got up to piss throughout. The back row felt like a city sidewalk. 

    If you were at my screening, answer truthfully, were you one of them?

    Bruno Dumont keeps so many amazing elements of cinema alive almost single handedly. His contributions to cinema will hopefully pave the way for another filmmaker to pick up where he leaves off.
