A new 70mm print of David Lean’s 1963 Best Picture-winning epic just wrapped up a run at Chicago’s Music Box Theatre. Having survived their recent “4D” screening (temperamental A/C on a blisteringly hot late-summer day), Adam and Josh return from Lean’s “Arabia” in awe of the director’s widescreen compositions, his revelatory transitions and the film’s complicated take on hero worship and British exceptionalism.
