February is guest curator month at Transistor, the vinyl record store.
Gene Booth, editor of The Molten Rectangle, a theme-based film magazine, has chosen “Madhouse Mince” (human comedies) for February. Gene, a talented guy in more ways than one, also directs short films that are made in collaboration with high school students he has taught. The first February film is
Sullivan’s Travels, a film I am not very enamored of; although I find it funny in parts and like some of the romantic comedy aspects, the satire seems less hard hitting than modern satirical movies I have seen, so I am not quite sure why this film is so beloved and a must-see for some. Be sure to check out
Transistor’s website to read Gene’s comments about why he likes and chose this film to screen.
