Why am I not in Chicago why don't I own a teleporter this is a festival of British film noir which includes a 35 mm print of Cash on Demand (1961) and I'll settle for a digital restoration of The Fallen Idol (1948) and if I were programming the thing it would also include a print of The October Man (1947) but I didn't even know it was happening until tonight which means I am in Boston not watching Eric Portman in his home genre even on DCP and in conclusion I need a budget and more time. Just because I've seen five of these movies doesn't mean I wouldn't jump at the chance to see them again on a big screen and the ones I haven't seen sound fascinating. Argh. Maybe the Brattle will decide to branch into British noir. Maybe I'll build a teleporter.
Okay, Brattle, I appreciate that you are doing a series of Shakespeare on screen and claim to have a double feature of Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books (1991) and Derek Jarman's The Tempest (1979) lined up for later this month. That is not small change. I will resign myself to digital Jarman if you can get a print of the Greenaway. But I still want British noir.
