This is the best documentary I have seen so far.
The film shows the lives and obsession of five New Yorker 'cinemanics'. Their entire world is centered around movies. Movie schedules, film festivals, old movies and new movies, movie length.. Besides movies their interests are subways (how long does it take to get from movie theaterA to cinemaB?), hard to digest food (so it won't mess up ones time schedule when one watches 2 - 5 movies a day), music (soundtracks, of course) and books (do i have to mention what they are about?).
The five protagonists are wonderful individuals, the colours are fantastic, beautiful shots and Stereo Total is responsible for the theme song.
