One Sentence Movie Reviews: “Preserve Me a Seat”
Preserve Me a Seat (2005): "The Old Fashioned movie house, as a talisman of another, must somehow justify its existence beyond nostalgia and memory."
Notes: This lovely little documentary is about the old fashioned movie house and its gradual extinction across the American landscape. I read about it on Cinema Treasures devoted to such things.
Perhaps you were lucky enough to grow up in a community with an old fashioned movie palace as I was. To me these places are holy ground, where the movies grow up and planted themselves in our shared consciousness.
So few are left but the places I’ve lived have been fortunate enough to maintain theirs. I consider myself very lucky in this regard.
