I came to the city as a teenager in the late»70s,
too late for the New Yorker Theater itself but right on time for the Cinema Studio on 66th and Broadway, where I spent half of my student life seeing and re-seeing movies like Wenders's The American Friend and Godard's aforementioned return to 35 mm
feature filmmaking, and the Metro on the corner of Broadway and 100th Street, where I saw Oshima's early films for the first time.
