f***ing finally own le samouraï on blu-ray

Kiss Me Deadly deserves way crazier art

Just ordered Come And See on blu ray from the Criterion website. Couldn’t find it it anywhere else besides Amazon but the shipping from Amazon is like two months. Plus it’s more expensive on Amazon. Can’t wait to watch this.

that crit logo with brass knuckle gets me tho

This can be said for so many of their releases over the past 2 years tbh. I swear the number of titles with awful artwork has been increasing so much. A year ago it was like once every other batch announcement — this year I think every single batch has had 1 or 2 box arts that range from underwhelming to just dumb as hell

Tf is their art department doing over there?

the contrast of the craziness of the film and the tameness of the art is ridiculous. i put it off for too long cause the art made it look generic

peep the stickied pickup thread

bros what are some french new classics?

french new wave?

typo but yeah

the best starting point is Breathless (1960)
then you may work your way to Godard's filmo with

• Vivre Sa Vie (1962)
• Contempt (1963)
• Band of Outsiders (1964)
• Alphaville (1965)
• Pierrot le Fou (1965)
  ^ all classics from him.
  Or you can start other filmmakers like Truffaut here:
• The 400 Blows (1960)
• Jules and Jim (1962)
• Shoot the Piano Player (1960)

You can get into Agnes Varda with Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962)
Anyways, other filmmakers can be either part of the Cahiers du Cinema dudes or just artsy fartsy with their own different kind of movement (which it's called Left Blank) like Alain Resnais with Hiroshima mon amour (1959) and Last Year at Marienbad (1961). Other filmmakers you can get into like Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette and more like:

• Les Bonnes Femmes (1960)
• Lola (1961)
• Claire’s Knee (1970)
• Paris Belongs to Us (1961)
• My Night at Maud's (1969)

Also, a good resource: bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/news-bfi/lists/10-great-french-new-wave-films
Plus, if you ever approach deep cuts from any of these filmmakers as mentioned above, just approach it with caution

thanks man

I'm thinking about doing one more B&N purchase, has anyone seen the Scorsese shorts yet?

yeah i do, it was on the channel. all of them are good though
