Hairspray (1988) When it comes to civil rights cinema, most of the attention has historically gone down south, where the fight for equality was its most dangerous. John Waters’ Hairspray is a sobering reminder that
Sid and Nancy (1986) A few months ago, I noticed the 2022 FX show Pistol floating around Amazon Prime. I love punk and Danny Boyle (he directed every episode), so naturally I enjoyed it. Adapted primarily from guitarist
Working Girls (1986) It’s always striking to see a film that holds up so well in terms of content and yet is so tied to its time period in terms of aesthetics. I’m hesitant to use the word “dated”
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) “There’s nothing I despise more than being entertained.” This is a quote John Cassavetes told scholar and author Ray Carney, later published in Carney’s 2001 book Cassav
Lenny (1974) Aw man, I was so excited to finally check out Bob Fosse’s next biggest movie (as a director) nearly a decade after doing All That Jazz until today, when I finally had to sit down and watch it. ThatR
Murmur of the Heart (1971) Last year, I dedicated an entire Criterion Month to “Horny Movies.” I reviewed films like Luis Buñuel’s Belle de Jour, Nagisa Ōshima’s In the Realm of the Senses, and Lo
Five Easy Pieces (1970) As I watched the Mariners absolutely shit the bed to begin the second half of the MLB season tonight, I couldn’t help but think of the main takeaway I had from rewatching Five Easy Pieces la
Donkey Skin (1970) A lot of fairy tales are pretty weird, even despite the fact that they’re an inseparable part of most people’s childhoods. Filled with eating children and killing grannies and creepy little
Stolen Kisses (1968) While they seem like an invention of the 2010s, all these Criterion Months have taught me that the idea of shared cinematic universes actually goes way back. So it comes as no surprise to report that
Branded To Kill (1967) I had become more interested in Japanese noir two Criterion Months ago after watching Pale Flower and realizing there must be more there, especially when stumbling onto the reputation that Seijun S
PlayTime (1967) I equate the experience of watching a movie with being told a story so naturally that I often forget that that isn’t essentially what a film has to do. Jacques Tati’s PlayTime is a monumental remind
Blow-Up (1966) You want to know how long we’ve been doing Criterion Month? Since we started Criterion Month, there have been TWO, honest to God, two, Wonder Woman movies. And yet, after nine years of Criterion Mont
Juliet of the Spirits (1965) In terms of discovering classic foreign films as a budding teenage cinephile, Fellini was certainly one of my gateway directors. That said, I gobbled up a bunch of his movies in high school a
Viridiana (1961) I’ve written a few times about Spanish surrealist Luis Buñuel and his distaste for the bourgeoisie. What I haven’t delved into is the equal disdain Buñuel had for the Catholic Church. Born an
Breathless (1960) When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other. Has there ever been a more damning indictment of romantic French cinema than Michel’s line her
Ashes and Diamonds (1958) For my first foray into the career of Polish director Andrzej Wajda, I’m starting at the end. Not at the end of his career, as he would be a presence on the international film stage even i
Cairo Station (1958) One fun thing to be reminded of each year when we do Criterion Month is that film is such a rich, wide-ranging, and diverse medium that there are always new pockets of great filmmaking around the wor
A Man Escaped (1956) I love prison movies. Lock up enough pissed-off people and force them to interact, and you’re bound to get good conflict. A prison is a tinderbox for human drama. What I didn’t realize un
Summer with Monika (1953) From Terence Malick’s Badlands to Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, one of the most beloved sub-genres cinema’s great auteurs inevitably explore is stories about young lovers on
Night and the City (1950) There are plenty of directors that are closely associated with the film noir genre, from John Huston to Billy Wilder to Edward Dmytryk. However, there was really only one great noir director who
