On my way to the cinema I recognised the remains of what once was is a poignant documentary by Esteban M. Soto that delves into the nostalgia of a bygone era in Cañete. The film captures this small town's vibrant cinema culture from a child's perspective, evoking the innocence and joy of moviegoing during tougher times in the 1980s. The atmosphere is steeped in a bittersweet nostalgia, almost haunting, as we see remnants of the once-thriving theater. Soto's pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in the details - the flickering memories of laughter, the smell of popcorn, and the camaraderie of shared experiences. It's a reflective piece about how cinema shapes community and identity, leaving you with a sense of both longing and appreciation for those simpler days.
