| Film ThreatZack HaddadThis is a very fun documentary. All of the theater owners bring something new to the table and are fascinating to watch, plus the fact that it is different than the standard shakey-cam documentary is commendable. |
| VarietyRussell EdwardsCentral performance by Mirjana Karanovic is instantly endearing. Unfortunately, film coasts on thesp's ability to evoke sympathy and leaves her stranded in this yarn that's all setup and little payoff. |
| User ReviewTom DWhy don't they ever show cool documentaries elsewhere but film festivals? Excellent, heart-warming stuff! A documentary about 4 independent movie theaters (North Korea, India, Burkina Faso, USA) and the people that run them. Extremely funny and very well made! |
| User ReviewBen TAn intriguing documentary about movie projectionists from 4 far corners of the world. My favorite segment was the one about this East Indian traveling tent movie showman who is also trying to seek a wife. Next up was the husband and wife team who ran a commune film club in rural North Korea. You can borrow the DVD from your local public library. |
| User ReviewNils HVery real & cultural. The film follows the everyday life of the owners of 4 movie theatres in india, north korea, burkina faso and US (a small town). |
| User ReviewVicky PInteresting glimpse into cinemas in North Korea, Burkina Faso, a village in the US and a travelling cinema in rural India. Definitely worth watching! |
| User ReviewStig SFollowing the life of movie theatres in india, north korea, burkina faso and a tiny US village cinema. Intersting and funny. |
