  • Montreal is seriously lacking in committed repertory and art house cinemas. I remember back in the day when when places like Cinema V in NDG, the Rialto in Mile End would regularly play hard-to-find art-house films like "Watership Down" or old Alfred Hitchcock classics like "Vertigo" on a regular basis. The multiplexes, video, DVD and Blu-ray players have totally killed that old world. True, you can always find these films at places like Boite Noire or online nowadays, but there's something about the experience of going to cinema, getting comfortable in plush seats in a giant darkened room, usually with strangers and opening yourself up to a cinematic experience, watching films that make you think, show another reality or way of life, films which stick with your for days afterwards. Renting out a film or downloading one doesn't have the same emotional resonance as spending a rainy Sunday afternoon in a darkened theater watching American film noire from the 1940's or post WWII Italian realism. I know we still have the Cinematheque and Ex-centris, but I personally find Ex-Centris is too modern and the Cinematheque's selections are often too obscure. Thank God Cinema du Parc is still with us, I still remember when it was downtown and called Cinema de Paris and then the owners brought it to Park Avenue, smart move considering it's the heart of the McGill ghetto, and close enough to the Plateau and Mile End. It's true ticket prices have been steadily rising here in the past few years and are nearly comparable to the multiplexes and they are showing first run mainstream films here alongside art-house and festival films, even then Cinema du Parc is a great place to take in a film, usually with a hyper-literate crowd.
