Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland

Nice place to walk around and look at art for free if you are there but not worth going out of your way to see it. There’s a movie theatre there as well and they show international movies as well as oldies. Nice building.

Beautiful location, with a lot of careful planning gone into projection and sound. The selection of films from the past and around the world opens a lot of doors to you in terms of film as art and expression. I particularly enjoy their showings of cult classics around certain seasons, themes, or directors. Now, to explain the 4 stars. I understand this is an educational institution first, not an entertainment venue, but it wouldn't be a fair review if I didn't give my honest opinion. First, the seats are torturous. I'm a tall guy, the only other place that is so uncomfortable to physically exist in is an airplane. Lastly, no concessions that I'm aware of. Again, I know it's not that kind of a theater, but it would be nice. Especially if I could get a beer to numb the pain of those seats.
