    Scala (2022) Review: A Movie Palace Turns Off the Lights

    Scala is Ananta Thitanat's short Thai documentary about the final days of Bangkok's beloved Scala cinema, a tender elegy told through the staff who return to close it.

    Yes, especially for cinephiles and anyone who misses single-screen cinemas. It is brief and quietly moving, though viewers wanting a full history may find it slight.
