Commune Redux

Commune was, arguably (please argue with us) the first modern film about alternative living and cults. So who knew back in 2006, that it would, for me, recall the slogan of Richard Nixon: “Now More Than Ever.” Both the left and right need to be looking at living off the land, coming together, and exploring new ways of being. Last year we up-res’d (made better) the extant version of the film for modern small screens, so we thought, why not share it on the big screen, where people watch and can discuss films and ideas TOGETHER?
