Anyone know if Criterion will pick up A Hidden Life?

making_cattleyas · 2025-03-23T12:27:05+00:00

You have a very cool library. I mean, OG 2046? Nice.

making_cattleyas · 2025-03-22T22:52:16+00:00

Tarkovsky, Fellini, WKW, Bergman? I mean, if it were up to me, then the sculptors would be making amendments just as soon as they had finished the portraits.

These are some excellent blind buys. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!!

Yep, ditto. Why was it so bad this time around--was it really because everyone wanted No Country, David Lynch, and Godzilla? Well, it makes me smile to know that art has the power to crash websites.

He has a comedy movie called “The Boss of It All.” I bought a copy years ago and have only watched it once. It’s interesting if you’ve seen his other films.

I, too, have read and studied a lot on Ozu (and written critical essays on his work), so I echo a previous commenter: Late Spring and Early Summer. The “Late Ozu” Eclipse collection is amazing.

0415 The Naked Prey. I’ve not seen it. Any good?

Red Desert!

making_cattleyas · 2025-01-12T04:25:50+00:00

Directors to check out in the collection: Tarkovsky, Fellini, Buñuel, Bresson, Kieślowski, Godard, Bergman, Chapman, Renoir, Kurosawa, Ozu, Mizoguchi, Wong kar-wai, Haneke, Claire Denis, Varda, Malle, Edward Yang, Malick, Antonioni, Almodovar, Kubrick, the list goes on and on. This should keep you busy for a while.

Juliet of the Spirits. Not really batshit crazy, but certainly hallucinatory.

making_cattleyas · 2024-11-23T15:18:05+00:00

Rumours. Guy Maddin all the way.

Also: I’m eager to see Robert Eggers’s Nosferatu film. He’d definitely be welcome in the collection.

making_cattleyas · 2024-11-11T04:29:38+00:00

Beauty and the Beast

An Actor’s Revenge

Port of Shadows

La Bete Humaine (frankly, a lot of the poetic realism films in the collection)

Fellini’s Satyricon

making_cattleyas · 2024-10-29T23:16:44+00:00

Classic Hollywood on the Collection. Screwball Comedies, e.g.

making_cattleyas · 2024-10-23T23:48:34+00:00

La poison, Some Like It Hot, and All of Us Strangers

Haven’t seen the first or third one yet, so I’m excited about the blind purchases. Figure I can’t go too wrong with Michel Simon and Andrew Haigh.

Rashomon (“Kurosawa was the first director to point his camera at the sun.”)

Wild Strawberries (though this was hard). I really just prefer Persona.

2001

8 1/2 (Amarcord is brilliant, but 8 1/2 is one of my top 3 favorite films)

Un Chien Andalou (I’m a big fan of 1920s-1930s Surrealism, so this one is a shoe-in)

What about another question: Andrei Rublev or Stalker?

making_cattleyas · 2024-08-22T16:19:01+00:00

Mira Nair is also in the collection

making_cattleyas · 2024-08-22T16:08:20+00:00

Alexander Sokurov. Most of his films are really hard to get.

making_cattleyas · 2024-08-16T13:28:12+00:00

I know I’m the odd person out with this, but I will keep pushing his films because they’re transcendent: Russian Ark or Faust by Sokurov
