The Theatre Experience
In the book WORLD CINEMA: Diary of a Day, A Celebration of the
Centenary of Cinema (in conjunction with the British Film Institute),
edited by Peter Cowie there's an entry by Edgar Reitz on page 391. On
June 10, 1993 Cowie tracked down directors, actors, editors, etc.
around the world and asked them what they were doing. "I have just
experienced a little miracle with the work in Italy. Since it could not
be sold to television there, Mikado FIlm has been able to experiment
with a cinema run. The results are sensational. They are showing the 13
parts there in an ordinary cinemas and have one part running for a
week, with four screenings a day, therefore 28 times per week. Then
the second part follows for a week, and so on, until thirteen weeks
later, that's to say a quarter of a year, the film reaches its conclusion.
The performances in Rome and Milan were all sold out, and the Italian
press are asking what could have brought on this intoxication. Social
habits changed. Members of the audience met one another once a week
for months at a film, became friends, went to parties together
afterwards, and achieved a level of experience which they could
compare to nothing else. More than 150,000 tickets were sold in one
cinema alone in Rome for DZH. The distributor reports over a million
visitors. An isolated case? A portent of new possibilities for the
future?"
