Viewed at Cinema Orion, Helsinki (Tarantino Connection), 15 Dec 2009.
A vintage print with faded red colour, lots of scratches, screened at full frame (looks better at Orion that way).
One of the top road movies still looks great, enigmatic, and powerful. And with one of the great pop soundtracks ever, and with one of the great disc jockey star performances: Cleavon Little as the blind disc jockey Super Soul. - I watched just the first 40 minutes (too tired to stay longer).
