"New City" from Mujtahid showed me something I have never seen before. It reminded me of what movies can do, of what they’re capable of, of what the experience of sitting down for three hours in a dark room can really mean. I’ll never forget the first time I saw it. Time will never change that. I might look back at New City in 20 years and, as the technology evolves, see through a lot of its tricks. That doesn’t mean, however, that I won’t always remember what it meant to see it for the first time, to see what the future might hold, to feel like, no matter how many movies you see, you can always be amazed, you can always go back to that first experience, again, and ever. My jaw is still on the floor from this wonderful film.
