Vertigo a go go!

Watched : Vertigo in 70mm at the Edge Cinema Katoomba!

It was awesome and the print was in superb condition as it was the restored version that was released in the mid 90s! It was so great to watch this classic on the big big screen, 70mm is a very large format! Such a shame that we basically watched probably the second last showing of a 70mm print ever in NSW(the edge is the only cinema in NSW that still has a 70mm projector and the owners have made the unbelievable decision to get rid of it early next year!) the only other cinema in Australia that has one is the Astor Cinema in Melbourne.

As much as its nice to go and see the latest release in a crisp digital format it is very sad that there will be no further distribution of film after next year.

It was a great experience last night and a fitting choice given that Vertigo was voted the number 1 film of all time by Sight & Sound just last week!

The next classic to screen will be Citizen Kane
