January turns into February with an anniversary Pet Shop Boys show @ Hungary’ Cinemas.
Lavish stage show and mesmerising visual backdrops.
At the end of the first month of the year, as well as at the beginning of the second, the Pannónia Cinema Network brings new musical material to Hungary with a limited runtime.
The British duo timed the cinema premiere of the movie version of their Dreamworld concert, which was recorded in Copenhagen at the beginning of July last year, for the 40th anniversary of their first single. During the performance, they performed a selection of their greatest hits, thus strengthening the commemoration of four decades since the release of (my favorit) “West End Girls” in 1984.
The premiere is at the end of January, and the only repeat will be in the beginning of February.
In addition to the already mentioned song, the show tuned to be visually spectacular will include, among others, “Suburbia”, “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)”, “Left to My Own Devices”, “Rent”, “Domino Dancing”, “Love Comes Quickly”, “Always on My Mind”, “What Have I Done to Deserve This” and “It’s a Sin”, so singer Neil Tennant and keyboardist Chris Lowe really made an effort to perform the best of their biggest songs on to a sold-out audience.
The images of the 14 4K cameras will try to convey the concert experience to the moviegoers as best as possible. The film version, cut to 2 hours by a few minutes, documents and presents an event praised by the critics of the trade press in a new form.
Incidentally, Pet Shop Boys became one of the UK’s most successful music artists (and the most among duos) during these 4 decades, with more than 50 million records sold. The duo started their career in London in 1981, and in the golden age of synthpop, they really exploded with their first released songs in 1984, which was considered one of, if not the best year in the music industry, while fans had to wait until 1986 for a full-fledged album.
On Wednesday, January, 31. “Dreamworld” will be shown from 7 p.m. @ Cinema MOM, Pólus Cinema, Gobuda Cinema and Lurdy Cinema, while on Sunday, February, 4. @ MOM and Pólus will be shown from 3 p.m. The Gobuda and Lurdy cinemas will schedule the second screening on 5 p.m., so fans should check the available seats, which they can do on the website of the cinema by their own choice.
Naurally, the concert film can be enjoyed with original sound and talky, no subtitles, but at the same time only minimal, mostly re-interpretations are heard in it,. The pop hits will surely bring back past memos for many individuals.
Just a hint for Pet Shop Boys music lover … if so … may head TO Mallorca Live Festival being at their live “Dreamworld” show on Saturday, June, 15. 2024.
In the meantime enjoy the concert show in comfy seats on the a/m cinemas.
