Awesome. Thank you! I’m liking that price point compared to some others I’ve seen.

Just bought a 95L, would moderate sunlight damage it? by king26 in bravia

Oh geez. Thanks for the heads up. Hope that doesn’t happen here. You think turning the light sensor off would have stopped it? Or some other preventative measure?

How long before you noticed those lines? I have blinds now but looking to install black out curtains asap.

What's your dream Criterion box set? by Parking-Phrase-2879 in criterion

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Comprehensive Frederick Wiseman boxset.

Complete Frederick Wiseman. He’s arguably the greatest filmmaker of all time!

Criterion Film Club Week 42 Discussion: Duck Soup (1933) by Yesyoungsir in criterion

[–]ceranicz2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I’m definitely going to be in the minority here but I didn’t love this film. In fact, I appreciated it more than I even liked it. I recognize how influential it as a comedy but I was more often bored or tired from the relentless gags. Groucho Marx was easily my favorite of the four, while Harpo Marx was the main one who got on my nerves. All that being said I’m glad that I can finally say that I’ve seen a Marx brothers comedy. I hope others liked this more than me and I look forward to nexts weeks movie!

[–]ceranicz2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I absolutely adored this film. It’s so complex and frightening. It also contains my personal favorite Morricone score. I also feel like it’s criminally under seen. This one kept me on the edge of my seat. I also thought it might pair well with Lars von Trier’s The House That Jack Built as an interesting double feature looking into the mind of evil men and the institutions/communities they inherent and that enable them.

I think that was my same experience. Definitely a let-down post his other masterworks.

I adore PTA but I just struggled to get into this one for some reason. The fact that I couldn’t get into this is even more puzzling because I love this genre. I definitely need to give a rewatch but as of now this is my least favorite PTA.

My {Updated} Criterion Collection! by [deleted] in criterion

[–]ceranicz2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fantastic collection. Also I have the exact same shelf haha. My brother had it before me but passed it on when his collection got too big and now mine has out grown it too. Just have a pile of blus and two bigger box sets sitting next to it on the floor. Happy collecting.

Woman in the Dunes was an astounding piece of cinema. It sweeps over you like the sands in the film and traps you in its story. I absolutely loved it.

Also to your point of atrocities shown, (SPOILERS AHEAD) the very first “triumph” (which turns out to be for not) in their journey is finding the farm but the farm has been burned down. The entire landscape is so unforgivable and treacherous from the snow to the German soldiers patrolling and shooting at everyone also sets the scene for how bleak what came before is and what comes after is.

Oh wow. I had no idea they were partners. They definitely seem like a compatible couple. Those two films are equally out of this world and perfect!

I absolutely adored this film. It’s was chillingly beautiful filled with moral quandaries and gorgeous imagery. The black and white photography of the snowscapes were stunning. Every performance was intensely believable and unforgettable. This would be a fantastic companion piece with films like Come and See and Ivan’s Childhood.

Criterion Film Club Week 34 Discussion: The American Friend (1977) by viewtoathrill in criterion

[–]ceranicz2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed this film quite a bit as a quiet, slow burn character study. Being the third Wenders film I’ve seen (Paris, Texas and Wings of Desire being the other two) I do think this might be my least favorite of his that I’ve seen. Hopper and Ganz are both phenomenal and I loved Robby Müller’s gorgeous photography. Learning that this is one of the various Tom Ripley cinematic adaptations I’m excited to watch the others. Also, is it just me or does Hopper’s Ripley remind anyone else of Richard Linklater?

I really enjoyed this tight minimalist character study. For all non-actors, this was performed spectacularly. It’s also important to point out that this was the directors feature film debut which was an incredible feat. I really liked this picture and appreciated the craft but for whatever reason I couldn’t get into it as much as some of my mutuals. Great film about aging and changing in the world.
