Some may have loved the movie theatre more than the movie and were right to cry betrayal or suffer nostalgia. But others—myself included—preferred the film to the movie theatre.

While the first were bound to the theatre and its rituals, the second already had a foot in the flow of the moving images. While the first would never be able to console themselves over their lost object—let’s say Casablanca or Les enfants du paradis—the second were ready to follow theirs to the ends of the earth and even far from the earth, all the way to the television.
