Lawrence of Arabia – 1962

• 2014/12/10

the holiday season is back with huge classics booked on your favorite channel (if you’re still into regular cable, good luck avoiding Ben Hur!), and if you’re in the Northern hemisphere, how about a 200 minute escapade to burning hot Jordan for David Lean’s monumental epic. 4 decades on and this is still perfect, a feast for the eyes and ears with a virtuoso sense of pacing. Do yourself a favor and catch a 70mmm projection of this: it’ll put any modern epic to shame.
