It's not easy!
After waiting a while, both Cloud Atlas and Life of Pi opened while I was in Japan for a few days... and as I caught a horrible cold whilst there, I didn't venture to the cinema for the first week I was back here in Korea. By then, both films had gone!
The Hobbit had also gone... but it'd been on for weeks; I was just too lazy to go see it, having enjoyed the real-life New Zealand so much in December!
I'm hoping hard that some or all of these films will be on a second run or some such when I'm back in the UK from March... as I think a small screen won't do any of the three of them real justice?
Another unfortunate aspect of being here is that while Busan boasts a rather lovely new independent cinema in the city centre - the Busan Cinema Center, the main venue for BIFF (the Busan International Film Festival) - which plays all sorts of 'world' cinema, the lack of English subtitles means that I haven't been to see anything at it. Terrible waste!
Definitely try and see Life of Pi at a cinema if you find it being shown somewhere - I don't think a small screen will do it full justice either. Saying that, I enjoyed watching Avatar on t'telly. I probably would have preferred to see it at the cinema, though. *helps* Life of Pi is BEAUTIFUL though so definitely see it in some form or other.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Cloud Atlas is out until late Feb over here anyway, so you should hopefully get to see that!
Your wish had the power of making things real! (See next post - it came back for two screenings yesterday! And yes, much of it was visually STUNNING ;o)
DeleteDidn't know that about Cloud Atlas's release date in the UK: thank you, now I live in hope!!!! x
