A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
A reclusive projectionist discovers that the films in his small-town theater are rewriting the lives of his audience — and his own past.
