| Abstract: | This paper explores the reasons for the popularity of multiplex cinemas (herein: m.c's) as sites of night-time pleasure and recreation in the U.K. Drawing on interviews conducted in Leicester (UK), it is argued that m.c's are popular with particular audiences because they provide a form of 'going out' facilitating the maintenance of bodily comfort and ontological security. It is concluded that the appeal of m.c's can only be understood by considering the embodied geographies of cinema going - a leisure practice involving the consumption of place as well as the visual consumption of film. |
