Three from Jean Vigo
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Mar 19, 2015
Mar 19 Posted by aaronwest À PROPOS DE NICE, 1930 Jean Vigo’s debut film falls very much into his idea of “social cinema.” He was a leftist (specifically an anarchist with communistic leanings), which I’ll talk about in more detail later. He was driven to film as a means of expressing his read more
Nearly Complete
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Mar 15, 2015
Mar 15 Posted by aaronwest My dream to complete the collection (on Blu-Ray at least), just became much closer to becoming a reality. Criterion usually has a February Flash Sale. I had held off on purchasing anything additional off my wish list until that happened. When the month of February passed, read more

Don’t Look Now, Nicolas Roeg, 1973
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Mar 14, 2015
Mar 14 Posted by aaronwest I remember hearing about Don’t Look Now when I was a youngster. I probably even saw it, although it was at such a young age and was competing with a lot of schlocky horrors and thrillers, that I undoubtedly forgot it. Even though it was and is a highly regarded thriller, read more

2014: The Best of The Criterion Collection
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Mar 12, 2015
Mar 12 Posted by aaronwest I started blogging Criterions about midway through 2014, but previously bought and watched most, if not all of them. This is probably the first year where I saw the vast majority of all the year’s releases, including all of the supplements, although I didn’t blog the early read more

A Day in the Country, Renoir, 1936
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Mar 8, 2015
Mar 8 Posted by aaronwest Even if Renoir’s A Day in the Country is barely over 40-minutes long, was unfinished and lost for 10 years before being edited for release, it is still one of the quintessential representations of 1930s French Poetic Realism. The setting out in the country and the focus read more

Tokyo Drifter, Seijun Suzuki, 1966
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Mar 4, 2015
Mar 4 Posted by aaronwest Of the films that Seijun Suzuki would make for the Nikkatsu studio, Tokyo Drifter was one of the wildest, audacious, and visually stunning, yet it was also one of the most incongruous for both Suzuki and Nikkatsu. It was a bold visual statement that happened to also be a c read more

Top 20 of 1986
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Feb 28, 2015
Feb 28 Posted by aaronwest 1986 was a good year. It gave us one of David Lynch’s finest, the best of the Alien franchise, and a lot of good smaller films. Some that flew under the radar back when they were released, like Manhunter and River’s Edge, have achieved cult status. The same h read more
