A Must See For Film Buffs
by samchiodosamchiodo2025-10-05
10/10

"Caught this by chance on PBS (the second half), and watched the entire documentary the next time it aired. It's hard to describe, but this is the wild story of a man that runs a movie theater/museum that he built in the middle of nowhere Canada. Very Grey Gardens- including the cats, but touching as well. One of the producers is a member of Barenaked Ladies, who went to this theater as a kid. If you're a film buff, don't miss this...."
