Alphaville is by far the best 60s Godard movie

Christ there's a ton of Godard on there, death notice?

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.

*when rather than if, since he seems like a guy Criterion has taken an interest in a bit more lately.
would like to see LS get a nice blu-ray release, it had a DVD release years ago but it's probably not ideal.

I'm a Criterion Channel person now! I've been making my way through the '70s Science Fiction list, which had a few entries I've wanted to see but never got around to

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.

I only just now noticed that they curate a selection for younger people every month.

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.

Anything expiring after today that I really need to see? (John Schlesinger, Lina Wertmüller, Jean-Pierre Melville, Bette Davis, William Wyler packages and a few other odds and ends)
― Miami weisse (WmC), Saturday, 29 February 2020 16:21 (four years ago) link
Most of the films expiring in a few hours appeared in September, according to post upthread.

Melville's Le Cercle Rouge and le douls are great crime flics. I just watched Schlesinger's Honky Tonk Freeway. Not sure if I'd call it good. It's like Nashville by way Cadyshack.
― jbn, Saturday, 29 February 2020 22:43 (four years ago) link
Yeah, pretty much love every single Melville I’ve seen, might watch Le Circle Rouge before the chimes at midnight take it away.
