SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 2011, AT MERCURY CINEMA (16 Place Garibaldi) IN NICE
On the program are two enjoyable cult films in 35mm that brilliantly combine humor and strong visuals. This double-feature screening is exceptional.
The 35mm print of the film BRAINDEAD (Dead Alive under its international name) being shown is a very rare copy, a real gem.
