As someone that prefers watching a film in one of the old historical art house theaters that still exist (there are a few amazing ones in San Francisco such as the Castro Theatre), over some oversized, ugly multiplex, this new film center in Madrid is pretty awe-inspiring. They manage to capture the drama, the darkness, and the glamour of the old theatres that I love, that wonderful feeling of escapism that can only be found at the cinema.
