Review

""Wow. Who knew all this stuff was going on in the movies? DEEP CINEMA digs into the celluloid and tries to pull out something basic about human behavior and how we experience it in cinematic storytelling. Makes it tough to go back to the 12-plex and put the mind on automatic."" -- John Sayles ""Writer/Director Matewan, Lone Star, Honeydripper""
