I got the Elephant Man, Salo, the Nikkatsu Noir boxset, the complete Lady Snowblood, and the Monsters and Madmen boxset (with two Boris Karloff films I'd never even heard of ) A friend also got me the complete Agnes Varda boxset, which was so cool it almost made me forget to even make this post about what I got in the sale. Gonna need to dedicate a whole month at some point just to watching everything on there

Gripweed posted:Considering that Disney owns a pretty decent chunk of American cinema, refusing to play ball with them out of pique doesn’t seem like a great move for Criterion to make. Also them outsourcing/loosening their grip on even some of their library for physical media distribution is a good way of disputing the "physical media is dead" myth for numerous reasons. As HBO Max is currently showing and as Disney's own/old The Vault approach showed, if you wanted something to not be seen, the easiest way to do it is...not let it be seen. Boutique labels like Vinegar Syndrome are already seconding this as being good for them/endorsing physical media as something that's not going away as much as the "physical media is dead" myth/memes want it to https://twitter.com/jlalibs/status/1567908965006065664 Ideally this continues with more old/archived stuff that actually hasn't had an audience for a while, if ever, but you could have started with worse

I thought it was pretty good/great, just not as much as the original which is a classic. The ending ruled and I felt it deserved better than its reputation ("box office flop" and critically forgotten due to being sandwiched in-between releases of other, also-pretty-good/great films West Side Story and Tragedy of Macbeth) In terms of GDT's filmography I only love Pan's Labyrinth, Pinocchio, and Crimson Peak more; caveats are I haven't seen Devil's Backbone yet, and it's been a while since I saw Cronos so that could do for a rewatch. Shape of Water's close but I'd prefer rewatching this than that

Out at the end of June: Pasolini 101quote:One of the most original and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century, Italian polymath Pier Paolo Pasolini embodied a multitude of often seemingly contradictory ideologies and identities—and he expressed them all in his provocative, lyrical, and indelible films. Relentlessly concerned with society’s downtrodden and marginalized, he elevated pimps, hustlers, sex workers, and vagabonds to the realm of saints, while depicting actual saints with a radical earthiness. Traversing the sacred and the profane, the ancient and the modern, the mythic and the personal, the nine uncompromising, often scandal-inciting features he made in the 1960s still stand—on this, the 101st anniversary of his birth—as a monument to his daring vision of cinema as a form of resistance. Accattone Mamma Roma Love Meetings Gospel According to Matthew Hawks and the Sparrows Oedipus Rex Teorema Porcile Medea quote:Two shorts made by director Pier Paolo Pasolini for anthology films: La ricotta (1963) and The Sequence of the Paper Flower (1969) https://www.criterion.com/boxsets/6588-pasolini-101
