Criterion Presents Janus Contemporaries

 

Got Dazed and Confused on 4K and Memories of Murder recently, great pickups

 

This is cool but kinda weird how the Neon stuff gets the CC label and this doesn't.

 

30% off sale

all discs including pre-orders

 

Louis Garrell's The Innocent was just added to the channel and it's super super good

 

Not sure where else to post this but I recently purchased the Arrow Academy release of Hideo Sekigawa’s ‘Hiroshima’ (1953) and holy shit.

One of the most uncomfortable viewing experiences. It was one of the few films where I couldn’t sit down and enjoy the act of casual viewing a film. It certainly wasn’t due to the quality of the film, just merely the depictions of the aftermath.

I visited the Peace Memorial museum a few months ago and this film gave me the stomach turns as that.

Having said that, I’m surprised Criterion hasn’t picked this up.

 

was so sleepy that I didn’t finish but got thru the first 1/3 of last year at marienbad and can’t stop thinking about it this morning. the human sculptures were so affecting. Can’t wait to finish

 

That one has stuck with me for a while

 

I need to watch that again sometime

watched it before I could really even appreciate it for what it is

 

That’s one of the best movies ever.

 

Just finished The Innocent. Loved it! It’s like French Soderbergh. And Noemie Merlant is excellent.

 

I’m pleased to report that Michael shannon has given Twitter some great content as a part of his closet picks video

 

It's 50% off sale time

Went with Mikey and Nicky, After Hours, Memories of Murder, and My Own Private Idaho.

Is this a region free player? Hard to tell. I know it needs to be modded, but can’t find if the seller “Toyarcade” has done so. I need one badly.

 

Just get one from 220-Electronics. Great site.

EDIT: Looks like they have that exact one. I didn’t get a 4K player for my region free since those discs are by default and it saved a bunch on the cost. If you only have room for one player I’m sure it’s worth the upgrade though. Usually if you add something to your cart and let it sit for a while they’ll email you a discount offer.

Yea, I’m mainly wanting to get a region free for all my blu’s and my eventual upgrade to a full 4K system, really nice that you don’t have to worry about regions with 4K discs.

 

Just grabbing Petite Maman and Thelma & Louise this month. I’m probably gonna go big in October for the one day sale, still a bunch I want (After Hours, One False Move, Targets, etc) but I need to reel it in.

 

IT’S REAL

 

Stop it

 

I haven't kept up on a bunch of cross over from other companies but do you all think any chance that new 4K of Le Mepris will make it to Criterion? If not probably going to have to pay to import it. My favorite Godard.

EDIT: Found this at the bottom of a press release...

The Others! 4K!


Personally was not a fan of Nanny, but the Browning set looks really awesome. Already have Videodrome and Don’t Look Now on blu ray.

 

Ordered the Browning set, I gotta have a copy of Freaks

 

Watching Paris Is Burning on The Criterion Channel, this is one of the best documentaries I’ve watched in a while.

 

One of the greatest of all time

A must watch queer classic.
