| The Burmese Harp (Kon Ichikawa, 1956) |
June found me traveling to Los Angeles for a week, the first time I've been to the city in my life. I didn't realize just how seminal the trip would be for me and how much I had internalized so many of the city's sites from the movies filmed there. Needless to say, I loved being there and, naturally, I took advantage of the city's many cinemas to catch up on some current movies (more than I would normally watch in a month). I had to pull out Los Angeles Plays Itself after I got back home. It is becoming a very important movie in my life.
