Description
Summary:In "Set almost entirely in a crumbling movie theater on its final night, [this film is] an elegant and tender valentine to the pleasures of moviegoing and the death of a cinematic age. Run by a lonely female ticket clerk and a young projectionist, the theater shows King Hu's 1967 martial arts epic 'Dragon Inn' before darkening its screen forever ... When a young Japanese tourist encounters someone with an uncanny resemblance to the swordsman in the film, we discover that comments about the theater's ghostly patrons may be more than rumors."
