anna_wingThis time of the Gothic classic "The Crow", first released in 1994 after the accidental death on set of its leading man Brandon Lee (son of Bruce, of holy memory). Having looked at the trailer, I am not convinced that it can remotely approach the OTT glory of the original.
I still remember watching it, in London in 1994, on a day when I didn't have anything in particular to do (I was on holiday). It was memorable in itself, but also because immediately after that I went and watched "Thirty-Two Short Films about Glenn Gould". They were both splendid in their different ways, and then I had a very good salt beef sandwich at a little cafe down the road. It was a nice day.
This was in the days when there was a whole string of cinemas in the Leicester Square, Charing Cross Road, Piccadilly Circus area, and also I was young and cognitively flexible....
