The Criterion Collection

The Red Balloon and Other Stories: Five Films by Albert Lamorisse Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio (4K) Blast of Silence

This is probably the best Criterion Closet video of the year or maybe ever. Or maybe I'm just a huge fan of Patton.

I could watch Martin Scorsese talk about movies all day. There's another one about Hollywood movies which is also fantastic if you like this one.

Of the Neon titles reported to be coming over, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is the only one unaccounted for, so this is probably the time they reveal it.

If not that, maybe The Mother and the Whore?

If all goes well, not one, but three Satyajit Ray classics will be bought by Janus Films, a popular US film distribution company. In an interview with the Times Of India, Arijit Dutta, the heir of the family who produced three Ray masterpieces, ‘Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne’, ‘Aranyer Din Ratri’ and ‘Pratidwandi’, said that he was considering selling the movies as it is getting difficult to preserve the negatives and was tired of multiple times the movies were screened without any recognition or compensation/royalty.

This was back in 2018. I've downsized my collection since, preferring to watch straight from my NAS via Plex or on streaming platforms like Mubi and Criterion Channel.

But I'm still very much into the collection and discussing it. Hell, me and the wife just bought some Criterion shirts a month ago. I regret getting Hausu; I'm a little too old to be rocking a design like that, lol.

I opted out of Reddit and was hoping there was a community here in Lemmy and here we are.
