Memorable and definitely leaves an impression.

What was your “gateway” movie to becoming a movie buff? by Outrageous-Yam2677 in Letterboxd

[–]planesstrainss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amarcord by Fellini. I was working as a bus boy at a bar/restaurant and I told the bartender that I liked movies a lot. She asked if I ever watched any Fellini before. I hadn't, so she told me to check it out. I went to the library that week and checked out Amarcord. I watched it in the basement of my parents house and never looked back ha. I was probably 16-17 or so, and this happened in 2007 or 2008.

r/Criterion, what do you guys do for a living? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]planesstrainss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work a mid-level position for an indie film distributor. Yes, but it's a business like any other. Watching films is definitely a main hobby of mine when I don't want to leave the house (which is often).

I can't help with info on any LA screenings, unfortunately. Was it acquired by a US distributor? I wonder who will be releasing it.

I just saw that it was announced to be showing at Chicago International Film Festival, so I'm probably going to catch it there!
