Brazil’s lost movie palaces find new life in ‘Pictures of Ghosts’: ‘Cinema has a way of mythifying’
LA TimesThe first time Brazilian writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho visited L.A.’s historic Broadway Theater District, he plotted a return with a camera to record the dozen movie palaces there, built between 1910 and 1931. “And I realized how much it says about time, the industry and how society behaves.” Movies The 27 best movie theaters in Los Angeles We’ve mapped out 27 of the best movie theaters in L.A., from the TCL Chinese and the New Beverly to the Alamo Drafthouse and which AMC reigns in Burbank. I was at the New Beverly on Sunday to see “Touch of Evil.” I think it’s only natural that a place like the Egyptian should be renovated every 30 years, because it’s part of history. It’s like saying, “You’ll never understand ‘Chinatown’ because you’re not from L.A.” Cinema has a way of mythifying.
