Iván Zulueta's ARREBATO, aka RAPTURE in 35mm (1979, NYC's Anthology Film Archives) for the first time. [U.S. Theatrical Premiere; 4K and Theatrical Trailers]
BTW, this is the first repertory theatrical screening I've attended since theaters re-opened in New York back in March (with an impeccable 35mm transfer struck from a 4K restoration to boot). Some arthouse and indie theaters in NYC are still recovering from the Pandemic. Metrograph hasn't re-opened yet, and Anthology Film Archives is just getting started with in-person screenings. So glad to have spent a Saturday evening attending a packed screening of a unique repertory film, something I used to do often but haven't done in almost two years. :-D
Good that you're going again - I guess. I was very happy at first when I could go back into the theaters, but I have a little of a strange relationship towards the cinema atm. People annoy me more than before the pandemic, I hope that will go away.
Note: if you have not watched this version of the film please do yourself the favor. It’s a vastly different story and puts it much closer to the story quality level of the original two films. And all the “new” footage is finally color and sound corrected the match og footage!
