50 years after Phantom of the Paradise had its rocky release, Paul Williams returned to Cannes for a restored screening on the beach. He had this to say:
What was good fortune for us was that it wasn’t a small hit, or even a big hit. It was a film that the people who loved it would not walk away from…
…because what you have done is tell your friends. You go “have you seen Phantom of the Paradise?” And they…
combine this quality education and lead gasoline fumes and i bet it feels so god damn good to be a republican
deaf ears, i know, but
missed about a quarter of this because (not one) TWO individuals had their laptops out for extended intervals of the film. i can’t imagine being a film student with the opportunity to watch one of the most praised art films EVER on an actual big screen and shitting all over everyone else. and i’m not sorry. if i knew your first and last name i would publicly shame you about it to share the same disrespect you have for your colleagues.
SOCIETY now!!!!
