It’s no secret that the movie theater is the contemporary successor to the mythical and moralizing social tale once dominated by European painting - the cinema as cathedral and all that jazz… anyway here the love affair between the cinema screen and it’s canvas origins make a cute couple in this recent venture, where the great Leonardo is resurrected for a global rockstar style tour… Leonardo Live. Not sure how it’s live seeing as he passed away in 1519, but yep it’s paint on the big screen like never before in HD no less. Forget going to museums, the epitomy of high culture is coming to a cathedral, I mean a cinema near you in some kind of Re-Renaissance conundrum. Maybe Herzog could explain.
