was wondering if they were going to add a bunch of Schrader flicks. Light Sleeper is one of my favorite '90s noirs, he's essentially mining his own previous scripts and turning in a real brooding NYC piece with lots of high-end cocaine atmosphere and terrific performances from everyone involved.

Between this, the Anna Karina retrospective at the Film Forum, and the Anna Karina retrospective on TCM, I feel like I'm drowning in Godard. I don't know where to turn because I've seen them all already. Maybe I'll check out Le petit soldat at the Film Forum, that's a relatively rare one.

one previously mentioned by me upthread -- i rewatched Light Sleeper, since the version i own is a DVD w/a 1.33:1 aspect ratio versus the 1.85:1 it was filmed in. Looks incredible, and one of those films i try to recommend to ppl a lot as a great moody '90s noir and a cut above most if not all others in the genre for its really palpable sense of urban desolation and ennui, and the deglamorized emptiness of certain corners of the high-end lifestyle. it's extremely "1992" in fashion and even w/the brooding Michael Been music, which i know turns off a lot of people but for me you just gotta commit to the experience since i think it's a pretty immersive film and one unafraid of a certain awkwardness and naked emotionality, and that includes the music. The performances are all good to incredible, w/Dafoe and Sarandon falling into the latter camp, as well as some really remarkable supporting work in a couple small key roles from Jane Adams and Victor Garber.

Mackenna's Gold is one of the worst movies I've seen on a Criterion-affiliated streamer. What a load of crap.
― Miami weisse (WmC), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 04:20 (four years ago) link
Mackenna's Gold was and remains a very successful film in India.[11] In India it remained the top Hollywood grosser in history until blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Titanic came along. Even worldwide hits such as Jaws and Star Wars would not make as much money in India as Mackenna's Gold did. The film went through countless re-runs until well into the 1980s and could be seen in cinema halls across India, including small venues in the medium-size towns of North and South India.[11]
