Bergman and Tati in Theaters Across the Nation
A retrospective of the films of Ingmar Bergman and a newly restored 70mm print of Jacques Tati’s masterpiece Playtime will be on display in theaters across the country this spring and summer. The Bergman retrospective begins at New York’s Film Forum in May and will continue on to the AFI Silver, The National Gallery of Art, and The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C. later this summer. A collection of new Bergman prints from the retrospective will also be touring throughout the the year, screening at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley, CA in July, the Castro Theater in San Francisco in August and September, and along to The Northwest Film Center in Portland, OR and the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, MA later in the fall. In addition, a newly restored 70mm print of Playtime will be shown at the Seattle International Film Festival on June 8th, the Castro Theater from July 16-22, and at the Music Box in Chicago in late summer/fall. A newly restored 35mm print of Playtime can also be seen at the Naro Cinema in Norfolk, VA on April 26th, the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley on May 8th, and the Sacramento French Film Festival in Sacramento, CA on July 17-18. Watch for more screenings of new Bergman and Tati prints in the coming months!
here's my question, I live in PA, and it is about an 8 hour ride to CHicago, I was thinking about going on a road trip with my fiance to see it, but I wonder if she will like it. she isn't into old movies much, but that one is the type almost anyone could enjoy right?
So what do you think, will it be a waste of time to go for a ride to Chicago or what? Anybody know anything else good to do in Chicago while i'm there?

The AFI Silver's 70mm presentation "Playtime" was glorious - you simply cannot miss seeing this. (any 70mm print of a film is vastly superior to a 35mm print)
Secondly, not to slam Chicago, but why wouldn't you come south to DC?
FYI: the Bergman films that will be shown at the National Gallery of Art will be free of admission
