Also just imagine a basement room transformed into a charmingly improvised home theater. It’s a place that houses more filmed personalities on its shelves than a Quentin Tarantino screenplay and has a simple overly inviting character. In the middle of the room sits a wide couch that is so cozy it probably has its own gravitational pull. The couch is big enough to accommodate an entire soccer team or, more realistically, a group of movie and game enthusiasts ready to immerse themselves in other worlds. The piece is soft and invites you to sink in and escape seems impossible. Ok, that’s probably also down to René, because the movie nights, often with a surprise film and food presentation, are legendary.
The walls of the room are stacked to the ceiling with movies and computer games. There are old classics and DVDs that have been around for so long that they have almost become part of the furnishings. This collection is not only impressive, it is a veritable archive of pop culture. But the real gem of this modest home theater is the TV and its dozens of players. It may not be quite as big and it’s not a swanky projector, but one evening, it was a Saturday when the world outside was dark and silent, this room became the center of an unforgettable “Tron” movie night.
The room was bathed in a sea of neon blue and bright orange lights as the legendary light races flashed across the screen. It was as if someone had called the year 1982 and beamed it straight into the basement. The excitement was almost palpable as the small group, snuggled up in blankets and armed with finger food, witnessed the digital adventures of Flynn and co. When the movie ended and the bare bulbs in the room came back on, it felt like waking up from a dream. The evening went down in history – not just as a movie night, but as a journey back in time, a return to an era when the boundaries between reality and the digital world were still new and exciting. You don’t need a movie palace for that, just some spontaneous willpower and the right friends. And something to eat.
This basement room, with its wide couch and a beautiful armchair, the countless movies and games and the spirit of the 1980s hanging in the air, is not just a simple home theater. It’s a magical place, a little piece of nostalgia and adventure, hidden beneath a perfectly normal house.
