The Cure at the cinema: the film-concert The Show Of A Lost World arrives in French cinemas for an event screening
The Cure return to the big screen with a rare, carefully-crafted film-concert. Fans and curious onlookers alike can now experience the thrill of the concert together in the cinema, without losing the power of the live show.
A film-concert event: The Cure in theaters
Captured during a recent tour, the performance blends great classics with new nuances. The Cure stretch out time, then alternate hazy melodies with feverish bursts. What’s more, the close-up images reveal gestures, glances and that special bond with the pit.
The technical rendering aims for total immersion. The film is remastered in 4K for deep blacks and precise detail. As a result, Dolby Atmos spatialization – mixed by Robert Smith – envelops the room with crisp dynamics.
The release is presented as an event screening, offered in a wide network of cinemas. As such, you’ll need to check which version is being screened, VO or VOST, depending on the venue. On the other hand, the experience retains its unity, as the scenic intention remains at the heart of the montage, worthy of The Cure.
“On the big screen, every breath of guitar becomes a landscape, and every chorus a shared memory.”
What the giant screen really changes
The darkened room focuses attention and reduces fatigue. As a result, the eye can follow the camera’s tracking movements, and the ear can distinguish nuances sometimes lost in stadiums. The Cure benefits from a setting that enhances its emotional palette.
High-definition projection does justice to guitar textures and lighting effects. What’s more, the wide field amplifies the backing vocals and drums. As a result, the musical dramaturgy gains in relief, without betraying The Cure’s energy.
- Choose a Dolby Atmos-equipped room for optimum sound.
- Choose a centered position for stereo balance.
- Check the VO/VOST version for your comfort.
- Arrive early to calibrate volume and seating.
- Plan on a full evening, as the set is generous.
