“Daughters of the Dust” is leaving the #CriterionChannel this month. Juie Dash’s lyrical and image-rich portrait of a Gula community is one of my favorite films.
Definitely worth watching before it goes. Also, her follow-up novel (same title, but set a generation later) is wonderful.

I’ve been watching “The Prisoner” on the #CriterionChannel. I’d only ever seen a few episodes on old VHS copies. It looks fantastic remastered.
It’s such a masterfully weird show about surveillance and individuality.
Anyway, I’m only on ep 4, but happy to discuss #ThePrisoner with folks.
Be seeing you. 👌🏻

Jonathan Demme's "Something Wild" (1986) has really stuck with me after seeing it yesterday. I almost turned it off as it seemed like another manic-pixie-dream-girl meets straight-laced-everyman film — one of those bromides for '80s materialism.
But it manages to subvert expectations through noirish twists while showing a weird-ass and occasionally violent America.
The soundtrack is stellar, and I even liked Melanie Griffith who is well matched with Jeff Daniels.

One thing I find pretty consistent in my liking of a movie is the long take. It’s both technically impressive but also just feels so much less manipulative than lots of quick takes, close-ups, and reverse shots. They show a moment’s true time and choreography.
Thinking of this because I just saw “Deep Crimson” (1996) — and, oooh boy — there are long takes with pans that are virtuosic. And in the age of film too, it’s truly impressive.

Wow. “Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets” (2020) renewed my #sobre card for another year. This quasi-documentary (really a drunken improv exercise) is the best movie about the closing of a dive bar since “Last Night at the Alamo.”
I didn’t find it a warm & fuzzy alcohol film, though it is compassionate for its characters. But it reminded me of all the reasons drunken conversations are so pointless, with all the declarations and forgettable epiphanies.

@fskornia For sure. It’s the only big one we pay for.
We should start hashtagging #CriterionChannel for recommendations.

Now showing on the #criterionchannel : “Lumière Le Cinema”. 130 year old 50 second films by the Lumière bros. that show how the art of film got its start. Beautifully restored & shown at natural speed with a narrative that ties it all together. We live at a special time: Pick a year from 1895 to now & you can see images of how real people lived. Amazing. A critic at the time these came out said, “…death is not absolute anymore.” #movies #film #cinema #silentfilm

Watching #GirlWithHyacinths on #CriterionChannel to get some #Noir in before the big #NoirAlley drought.
The detective finds an addressed, unsent letter on a dead woman's desk and delivers it, unopened.
My apologies for the loud thunk when my jaw hit the floor.

Just about the only thing that grabbed me amongst this month’s #CriterionChannel stuff — the least Criterion of films. Last few weeks of the gift subscription I was given. Probably won’t be renewing.

I saw Megalopolis in 15/70 IMAX and loved the experience.
The dialogue, plot, editing, and philosophy of "let's get along with fascists", are a mess, but his visual artistry is astounding, and he included many little touches paying homage to the history of the art form.
I believe this will be considered a "rediscovered" masterpiece someday.

Sometimes I think having a woman like Gloria Grahame on screen can take the place of or give the illusion of visual flair.
Like, there’s nothing exceptionally striking about most of the photography in In a Lonely Place, but you come away thinking it was spectacular because of how many frames she’s in.

Your New Favorite Halloween Movie Is Streaming On The Criterion Channel

Finally using the three-month Criterion channel gift subscription that my sister gave me two years ago.
Great selection of movies and additional content, but so poorly organized and curated. You’d think there’d be tools for searching by country, decade, genre, etc. There is nothing like that. You can’t click on a director and see what other movies there are by him or her. Just the least fun, least browsable app.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s ‘Cloud’ Streams Soon on Criterion: The Master Explains How It’s an Ode to American Action Movies

Well, I know what *I’m* going to be watching most of this month… 23 movies and 18 episodes of Tanner ‘88.
“Born one hundred years ago, Robert Altman made movies that play like the cinematic equivalent of jazz—elastic, improvisational, and thrillingly alive to chance and happenstance... Imitated by many, matched by none, Altman’s films are worlds unto themselves, teeming with more humanity than a single story can contain.”

@MargaretSefton I watched that just a few weeks ago. It was excellent.
I started Night Moves (from the Gene Hackman collection) last night, will probably finish it tonight.
It's just... okay, so far but it's a fun time-travel into the 1970s (and tries to be noir, sorta). Also a VERY young (16) Melanie Griffith's first credited role.
And I think there's a twist coming which hopefully will improve it a bit.

Watching "Party Girl." Peak '90s indie cinema, from the clothes to the music to the minimal sets to the simple lighting setups. You can clock the '90s of it all from the slide-in credits sequence alone.
