The Criterion Mobile Closet, a truck containing a popular home-video label's collection, celebrated Criterion's 40th anniversary during the New York Film Festival. It allowed fans to enter, record thoughts on films, and purchase discounted discs. Despite heavy rain, attendees faced wait times exceeding seven hours. Highlights included film critic Francisco Cangiano's experience, who arrived from Puerto Rico and opted to wait for the unique chance to visit the closet, illustrating the enthusiasm surrounding Criterion's offerings.
"I knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience," he says. "Any fan of Criterion who hasn't wished, hoped, or dreamt about being inside the closet is straight-up lying."
It was also raining incessantly. Even so, the line grew exponentially, and wait times quickly blew past five, six, seven hours.
