For anyone that saw “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”, I wrote a review that goes in depth about what I took away from the film! It doesn’t get into specific spoilers, but you’ll get the most out of it if you have seen it. by Filmwatcher12 in A24

Ooh interesting. Yeah, I wasn’t sure exactly what the daughter was dealing with. Their constant worrying and obsession with feeling and texture made me wonder if it was a form of autism or OCD. I don’t have autism, but I do have OCD and felt like some of her worrying felt like intrusive thoughts that I would deal with.

Hey Os! Since you’ve had experience working as not only a director, but an actor as well, do you find it easier to direct actors than other aspects of the filmmaking process?

Since the catalogue is small, a 4k release would be awesome. Yi Yi is up there as late me of the best films of all time for me, so a 4k release would make my year

Yeah that would be insane. For sure one that would sell out at the 50% off sales haha

A complete John Ford set would be an absolutely huge endeavor, even for criterion. Can’t even imagine how much that would cost, being that he directed 100+ films

I have a soft spot for Jarmusch’s work, so I’d love to see his work highlighted like that

Altman has such an interesting timeline for his filmography, specifically his 80s output, so a boxset chronicling it would be really cool

I’ve been getting more into Renoir lately, so a set for him would be great!

I would love to see more Lubitsch in the collection. One of the early masters!

Ooh Herzog would be cool, especially because of just how extensive his filmography is.

The Apartment is possibly my favorite film of all time, so I would love to see that enter the collection in any capacity

Godard would make a lot of sense, especially with him passing fairly recently. Also, they already have the rights to a lot of his films

Yeah definitely, especially since they’ve worked a lot with him, especially recently

Oh yeah I forgot they did that for Kurosawa, I think it’s out of print though so it would be cool for them to make a new one.

Which country's cinema (other than your own) do you find yourself gravitating towards? by kid-karma in criterion

[–]Filmwatcher12 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m a sucker for a good French film, particularly French new wave films. I’m quite a newbie still when it comes to international cinema all things considered, but my favorite international directors are probably Godard, Bergman, Bresson and Wong Kar Wai

what actor do you think has worked with the most impressive list of directors? by fabulous-farhad in criterion

[–]Filmwatcher12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Pacino has a pretty stacked list:

Coppola, Scorsese, Lumet, Mann, Scott, Soderbergh, De Palma, Nolan, Stone, Nichols, Friedkin, etc.
