... just a note for fans of the film or anyone interested: Unforgiven is showing twice tomorrow (Wednesday, August 9), at 2:00 and 7:00, at certain Cinemark theaters around the country. The film already showed on Sunday, August 6. I viewed the film on Sunday, and I am going back again tomorrow. Seeing it on the big screen, which I had never done before, was a treat. Unforgiven is a beautiful film visually, but not in the conventional ways. The haunting naturalism of the lighting and the locations—a Western set on the Great Plains and in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains that the filmmaker (yes, I can use the singular in this case) actually shot on the Great Plains and in the the foothills of the Rocky Mountains—comes through even more on the big screen (although it certainly comes across on smaller screens, too). And that visual naturalism aids this most realistic and despairingly subversive of Westerns. One can check for locations in your area here: Classic Series at Cinemark

I would only go to see such a showing if it was a done using a film print and not digital.

I would only go to see such a showing if it was a done using a film print and not digital. I cannot say for sure, but it seemed like film. The movie was "restored," and the clarity was amazing. Talking to someone after one of the screenings, I cited Unforgiven as an example of how much more clarity and definition exists with actual film compared to digital. For instance, the recent The Lost City of Z constituted a good epic with visual potential, but the lack of clarity and definition hampered the movie.
