I grew up going to lots of revival theaters in Manhattan and seeing foreign
films (Fellini, Bergman and the like). I feel sorry I wasted hundreds of
hours on endless trips to Manhattan when now all are available on DVD, but
there IS a big difference in going to a theater (which then had BIG

The first subtitled film I ever saw was SEVEN SAMURAI, the 205 minute
version (because the print was an original from Japan brought
with subtitles,

that they are much like silent films and you can follow them easily. There
isn't heavy dialogue and yet it has made both films quite compelling.
