    The Young Girls of Rochefort was a blind buy for me a year ago along with The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Both are great but Rochefort just stood out. It's a 1950's Minnelli style movie musical which were always huge on French culture. Setting it in the then modern day and utilizing MOD fashions just set it above everything else. The opening ballet number is iconic. It's pastiche in its purest form.

    Three fantastic journeys by karel zeman is freaking amazing, to think when it was made , how beautiful it looks ….along with moonrise kingdom, city lights, and dr Strangelove…Kubricks greatest movie in my mind!! Then my last pick would be repo man , so trippy and crazy, and the music in it is just wild..my favorite Emilio estevez movie! Which is saying a lot cuz he has a lot of good ones out there.

    I'm shocked you want to do another two hauls after this behemoth of a haul. Also, I recommend you pick up Frownland. It's by Ronald Bronstein, who stars in Daddy Longlegs by the Safdie Brothers.

  • @zackjamesmitchell
    @zackjamesmitchell ปีที่แล้ว

    I highly recommend picking up Letter Never Sent next time! It's absolutely incredible. Sadly there are zero bonus features, but it should be cheaper because of that. Still worth getting on blu just because the cinematography is mindblowing. I was stoked Cate shouted it out in the Criterion Closet despite getting the title wrong.

    My favorite of your bunch is ROMA. But the film aside, my comment is about the cover art. It amazes me how it captures the exact moment we see her walking toward the beach, afraid of the water, but she is called back to the water and without any trepidation, goes into said water to save the lives of the children. She is now a permanent member of that family. Not just the cleaning woman anymore (well, she was more than that for sure but now is blood, you might say). I didn't really incapsulate that very well, but I just find it so striking, how that split second moment is captured on the cover. Enjoyed your haul video.

    I hate Digipacks. While they look nice brand new, they age like dogshit even if you put them on the shelf and never take them out again. Also, good luck getting one without at least one crumpled corner.

    • @anillegibletombstone
      @anillegibletombstone ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. They look great at first but they are cheap. I love the art on them but I'd prefer regular clear cases for all releases.
      Honestly don't understand at all why they don't do half the pressing regular cases when they do a digipack for a title. Doesn't cost them any more and makes everybody happy

    Sound of Metal premiered at TIFF in 2019, but didn't get distribution (by amazon) until late 2020.
    Hence the 2019 date on the cover.

  • @adriankeppel3698
    @adriankeppel3698 ปีที่แล้ว

    My first encounter of your videos and I like it! As for that magnificent film Brief Encounter: it is maybe on a smaller scale but no less epic than Lean's other films. Don't just see this as a love story of sorts, see it as as a commentary on postwar society, in that after WW2 many women had to regress to their lives as wifes and mothers, leaving behind roles of maybe more significance during the war when they had to fill the positions men usually took in society. That theme gives an extra layer to this gem of a picture, I think.

    Went totally NUTS on the 50% off Criterion Sale, since I heard the CC fired 20% of their staff. I got scared right quick lol... Hoping they're around forever, producing physical releases (along with the _amazing_ streaming channel).
    Was trying to keep them alive just off my orders 😆 but I bought some all-time classics... _The Ascent, L'Avventura, Rules Of The Game, Elevator To The Gallows, Harakiri, Come And See, Night Of The Hunter, The Cremator, La Notte, A Special Day, State Of Siege, The Organizer, Pale Flower, The Before Trilogy, John Cassavetes: 5 Films, Letter Never Sent, The Cranes Are Flying, Mr. Klein, Bitter Rice, Il Sorpasso, Ivan's Childhood, The Double Lives Of Veronique, Swing Time, 12 Angry Men, The Executioner, The Tin Drum, Gate Of Eden, Divorce Italian Style, Christ Stopped At Eboli, Night On Earth, Lost Highway, Eraserhead, The Ballad Of Narayama, Gate Of Hell, The Pornographers, Onibaba, Cat People, Story Of A Prostitute_ and _Rififi._
    All absolutely incredible films... by far, the biggest Criterion order of my life lol - and the month ain't over!

  • @JohnDoe-lm6or
    @JohnDoe-lm6or ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That's a lot of great buys. I just watched take out and then listened to the commentary and I think out of this haul that's my favorite although I haven't seen a lot of these films. I went on a spending spree in July I still have a few films I need to get too So I'm not really going to buy much this sale but I'm definitely getting Wall-E and I want Malcolm X and Cure. I also picked up In the mood for love in 4k from amazon since I love that movie but I already have the World of Wong Kar Wai set and I'm kind of disappointed that this disc has no HDR and no new special features to the disc. It's just a duplicate of the version from the box set in 4k. I'm probably going to return it. BTW I just watched your film essay on Onibaba and it's great I hope you do one for Cure

    How long do these Criterion sales at B&N go on for? Or was this like a one day sale? Because I'd love to pick up a few for that deep discount, but I had no idea this was a thing and I'm hoping I didn't miss it. Because boy would I LOVE to get the Bruce Lee collection for half off. But...in all fairness...if they had it, it would likely be the first one to sell out.
