Videodrome :: Goodbye, Dragon Inn (2003)

Goodbye, Dragon Inn (2003) is an affecting meditation on the theatrical experience, exploring the nuances of film exhibition and the paradoxical loneliness of experiencing cinema in a darkened room amongst strangers — all together, yet still alone. It's a bittersweet love letter to the vagabond souls who seek solace in theaters, who relish in the ceremonial comforts of getting popcorn, settling into their seats, and waiting for the house lights to dim. This is a movie that not only loves movies, but also postulates that such love comes from going to see a movie in a theater, the experiential factor as significant on one’s own thoughts, feelings, or understanding of a film as the film itself.
