Mar 02, 2016A haunting, gorgeous and nearly-silent tribute to the experience of cinema-going that perfectly combines melancholy and deadpan humor, with deliberate pacing that may prove too slow to casual moviegoers as it puts sometimes a good deal of emphasis on still moments.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Mar 12, 2010On the last day of its operation, a Japanese tourist ducks in a once grand old theater to get out of the rain. What follows is a dryly funny, poignant look at the last film shown in a once thriving theater, whose faded glory is now overshadowed by dwindling crowds, inconsiderate patrons, and people whose reasons for being there have nothing to do with the movie. Slow and methodical, but endlessly engrossing, "Goodbye, Dragon Inn" is a haunting elegy for the theater experience.Matthew L Super Reviewer
