Apparently the restoration of SENSO would've been next to impossible without digital technology - particular problems with shrinkage and damage to the original three-strip Technicolor negatives - and it is a very colorful and color-oriented film.<br /><br />And thank you, Dawn.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-55526789296288804232010-08-07T10:38:47.312-04:002010-08-07T10:38:47.312-04:00Eve, I would love to see SENSO, especially at the ...Eve, I would love to see SENSO, especially at the elegant Castro! I haven't seen any of Visconti's pre-1960 films--that's a gap in my cinema education. It's awesome, too, that you saw a restored print (it was edited by the Italian govt when originally released, wasn't it?). Plus a Pabst classic, too...yes, I am jealous again!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-19003701122602612112010-08-07T09:52:33.019-04:002010-08-07T09:52:33.019-04:00Eve, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experien...Eve, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences.

I realize I'm fortunate to live where I live and have available to me all that I do - not the least of which is a variety of film festivals and events and more than one vintage theater. We sometimes take our day-to-day environments for granted. I have, anyway...and this blog was meant to try to convey and share my experiences plus encourage those who are within range of such events to participate...and enjoy. Sark, I hope you do take such a vacation some day - and blog about it. You too, Becky. I'm going to attend and blog about more festivals as well as tour (and take pix of) one of the most lavish of the local movie palaces. I hope I'm able to adequately communicate these experiences at the Cafe...The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-8744679798177155492010-08-06T00:33:02.214-04:002010-08-06T00:33:02.214-04:00One of your excellent best, Eve.

Like Sark, there are no film festivals, at least not like the ones you describe, near to me, and I envy you the opportunity. Beautiful pictures too!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-54510450574399967722010-08-05T12:43:59.968-04:002010-08-05T12:43:59.968-04:00Eve, superb coverage of lesser known films, as wel...Eve, superb coverage of lesser known films, as well as your festival/theatre experience. There are no film festivals near my hometown. Attending such a festival won't happen for me unless I make a vacation of it, and I haven't had such an opportunity yet. So I enjoy reading of someone who's able to see a screening of a film they might not be able to find or see anywhere else. Thank you for an immensely entertaining write-up of your festival adventure!sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.com
