BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Sorry To Bother You, Beale Street, Moonlight, Malcolm X, Fruitvale Station, Shame, 12 Years A Slave plz Most of these already have excellent releases. They should be using their brand to promote lesser-known but culturally significant films by POC, not just recent critical darlings. What was most shocking in that piece was that Becker had never seen To Sleep With Anger until recently.

codyclarke posted:All of them! As far as order though, I'd go: Lost in America, Defending Your Life, Modern Romance, Real Life, then for his later period, Mother, The Muse, The Scout (Didn't direct, just wrote/starred), then Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World. I would put Real Life above Defending Your Life, but otherwise I agree.

Both are good, but Night and the City is a lot better.

I'm about as diehard as a Bergman fan as you can get (see my avatar). I've seen 61 of his features (including TV movies and televised theatrical productions), 5 of his shorts, and 5 films he wrote but didn't direct. All These Women is at the very bottom of the list. I forced myself to sit through it a second time, couldn't bring myself to watch it again on Blu-Ray (although I did skim it to appreciate the cinematography, which is the only redeeming quality). My top 30: 1. Fanny and Alexander (miniseries) 2. Scenes from a Marriage (theatrical) 3. Through a Glass Darkly 4. Scenes from a Marriage (miniseries) 5. Shame 6. Winter Light 7. Sawdust and Tinsel 8. Autumn Sonata 9. Smiles of a Summer Night 10. The Silence 11. Wild Strawberries 12. The Virgin Spring 13. Persona 14. The Seventh Seal 15. Saraband 16. Hour of the Wolf 17. Summer with Monika 18. Thirst 19. Cries and Whispers 20. In the Presence of a Clown 21. Brink of Life 22. Fanny and Alexander (theatrical) 23. Dreams 24. Hustruskolan (School for Wives) 25. The Passion of Anna 26. Summer Interlude 27. Spöksonaten (The Ghost Sonata) 28. The Last Gasp 29. Ovader (Storms) 30. The Magician

Roth posted:Anyone check out any of these? I don't have Criterion Channel, but I've seen Welcome Mister Marshall, The Executioner, The Rocket from Calabuch, and Placido and they're all very good, Kart Barfunkel posted:A theater near me is showing Soviet films this month. The Cranes are Flying (1959) tonight and The Ascent (1977) over the weekend. Is one significantly better than the other? Is Cranes good? Both excellent, but Cranes is tops for me.

Pro BN.com tip: searching for "essential jacques demy criterion" returns nothing. But if you just search for "essential jacques demy", you'll find it (and 50% off).
