Review of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) by Ben T — 15 Jan 2016

Tarantino hosted a special 35mm screening in Sydney this week. I'd honestly never heard of this film, but apparently it was the highest budget Aussie film to date (when it was made in '78).

Incredible cinematography, powerful performances by the leads (not professional actors), confronting story and a little Tarantino-esque violence.

Was extra cool that the projectors were not in a booth, so you could watch for the cigarette burns, then turn around to watch, and hear, the reel change!
