Review of 200 Motels

200 Motels (1971)
10/10
The first feature film captured first on video tape.
16 December 2002
There is currently a great controversy waging in the feature film community: Film or videotape(digital)?. Although I think that digital will ultimately win (not because it is superior or cheaper, but it is just much more fun to use in post-production!), one thing should not be overlooked--Frank did it first!.

There were no Avids (TM) or Editdroids (R), hell there was not even scan line removal technology! But FZ, I am sure with the help of some diligent and inventive technicians, solved all of these problems and had the entire thing acceptably transfered to 35mm film for theatrical release (digital film had not been invented yet).

This is another tribute to FZ's genius!
