    Hi James,

    A nice touch – to make your review of “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” b& w.

    I have now seen that movie twice and I liked it more the second time but I wanted to cut 10 mins from the length which is what it needs to tighten up the flow.

    What I liked about your review is that you come to it without all of the film history. I’m afraid that after 40 years of being a keen festival watcher I noticed a bunch of other things.

    I reckon we are not far off being able to remix our favourite films at home. The tech is not quite there but we are getting closer to being able to have our own favourite versions of films.

    Incidentally even though it is in Farsi it was shot in Bakersfield near L.A. which US actors. The Iranian connection does help make the film more visual as not understanding a language adds some distance for us.

    In case you are interested I did my own review of that vampire / western movie. Link below.
