...demanding tastes of moviegoers have inspired a few upstart cinema chains, however, to try a different script. By building extravagant theaters, adding family events and offering plush amenities, those exhibitors are enticing viewers back--even at higher prices.

Two-week-long retrospectives of his films ran in commercial theaters around the country. Critics in the U.S., Britain, France and Sweden wrote full-length studies of his films.
