The Criterion Channel added the full series of The Prisoner recently. I've been watching it as a soporific before bedtime. It's really quite terrible and boring; I might have to stop. But in episode 6, Number 6 destroys a computer by asking it a certain one-word question. Can you guess what the question is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljGH07Unfe8&t=162s

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

30 minutes in the plot begins but it's been a good ride

This movie is awesome so far, 19 minutes in, no plot, but lots of establishing characters engagingly

This movie is so sharp & beautiful, both visually & aurally.

1. That is a great sunroom

2. You could cut a marriage license with those cheekbones.

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.

The "making of" now playing:

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

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.fangoria.com/criterion-channel-halloween-movies/

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.

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.”

My ★★★★ review of The Shrouds on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/aySNqh

#265moviereview #criterionchannel #davidcronenberg #theshrouds #movies

@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.
