For a supposedly sophisticated area, the MD suburbs have movie theatres mostly catering to the teen and slasher fan crowd. Bethesda Row Cinema isn't just a refreshing change, it's urgent and essential to cultural growth and enlightenment vis a vis cinema. Where else can you see edgy, intelligent, important movies made by sensitive, informed people like Roman Polanski, among others? Thank you, Bethesda Row! I drive from Frederick MD to see your films - a town we fondly refer to as "Fredneck." The theaters here reflect that name, although the fields and countryside are indeed lovely.
