Dear Laemmle Fans,
Beginning Friday, we’ll be offering a curated retrospective series on Laemmle Virtual Cinema, highlighting the career and select works of Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai. I wanted to take the opportunity to not only let you know about the upcoming program, but also to fill you in on some of the recent upgrades and new features that we’ve added to our online platform since we launched.
I first discovered Wong Kar-Wai thanks to Quentin Tarantino, and his personal support for the American release of Chungking Express. The success of that film led to the release of Happy Together, and then his magnum opus In the Mood for Love. While the latter film perhaps best epitomizes his mastery of cinema, Wong Kar-Wai’s verve and thoughtful storytelling are evident in each of the films in this series. Now on to the new features…
As mentioned last week, you can now save interesting films for later viewing using our “watchlist” function. We’ve also introduced a new “promo code” system, and will be communicating such discount opportunities over social media in the future (make sure to subscribe if you don’t already). We’re also working on a “gift ticket” admission system, for those who want to share the joy of Laemmle with their friends and family, but aren’t yet ready to commit to a Gift Card or Premiere Card. And as always, thank you for your support – each purchase truly does help bridge the gap until we can reopen.
All the best,
Greg Laemmle
