Not in Chicago? That's right, bitches!

I'm not sure how Detroit got included in that very short list of cities showing Medicine for Melancholy, but I'm sure glad it did. Unfortunately, when we saw it at the remarkable Detroit Film Theater (want a beer and a brownie before the movie in a beautiful setting? no prob) there was an issue with the whole digital vs. 35mm format thing so the colors and crispness were pretty much nonexistent. But, for our troubles, the theater manager not only let us know up front, but handed out free passes as everyone left. A class act, one of Detroit's finest. M4M will be playing there three more days, Feb. 20-22. You should go. If you can't, the website says it's available now on IFC in Theaters or on DVD this spring.
