5.0 of 5 stars. I am just back from a (free!) screening of Antonioni's L'Eclisse. Aside from the Russians whispering behind me during the whole damned film, despite my patented turn-and-glare, it was glorious. It's...

Yelp.com Review - by john w.

5.0 of 5 stars. In Harvard Square, culture lurks down nearly every cobblestone path. The Harvard Film Archive, tucked away on Quincy Street, is no exception. They do a great job of programing 16mm and 35mm prints of...
