This whole thing is just aiming for a communal, arcade vibe as it is part bar, restaurant, retail store, board game café and video rental shop.
Maybe I’m just a nostalgia mark, but the shared space that was a video rental store is where so many of us discovered our love for movies in the first place.
The whole thing seems dedicated to film culture and history, as well as uniting people with other movie fans in a place where they can introduce each other to new things.
The 75,000 titles that Video Vortex boasts will encompass a wide range of cinematic tastes, from popular action films and the oeuvres of various auteurs to foreign films and bizarre stuff that never made the jump from VHS.
