Salo! My real answer would probably be Playtime. Not really a romance-romance but it's one of my favorite onscreen dynamics.

Almost forgot about The Age of Innocence. It's basically Scorsese doing a Max Ophuls film. Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder are all incredible in it. On top of it being shot by Michael Ballhaus and scored by Elmer Bernstein.

I'm in Portugal and I don't use VPN at all to access the channel and stream. All you need to do is find a way to register, because beyond the register phase, there's no geo-blocking or whatever on the website. The way I did it, and they might have changed this since I registered last year, was by getting the apk for the Criterion Channel app, installing it manually on my phone and register through that. This of course only works on android. Because the app isn't suppose to exist outside of the US/Canadian Google App stores, it doesn't check for geo location. Via the google app you can also set payments with your Google Play account which accepts paypal so you don't need a credit card from the US/Canada.

Not sure how strict you are on the term romance (and trying not to name what others have said) Broadcast News City Lights Moonrise Kingdom Punch-Drunk Love Probably already movies you have seen, but I love all of these.

I don't know that I'd call the Princess Bride a romance film, necessarily, but it is great, and I somehow missed that it got a Criterion release. That is a super easy gift option for a wife who loves that film.

The 1936 Show Boat is fantastic. I'm not even a musicals person, but I loved this. Directed by James Whale! The Blu-ray looks gorgeous, too. Per the booklet, seems that they used a new fine-grain positive made from the camera negative.

Just watched Destry Rides Again. One of the most fun westerns I've seen. Funny, both James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich are awesome. Plus, Blazing Saddles obviously took a ton of inspiration from this. The Criterion Blu looks amazing, like a brand new 30s film.ham_sanitizer posted:i wish there was a criterion release of the mirror by tarkovsky It's probably coming before the end of the year.

FYI, the following Blu-ray releases are listed as "currently unavailable" on Criterion's website, which usually means they're between pressings: By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volumes 1 and 2 Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman (initial dual format release OOP) The Essential Jacques Demy (probably being replaced with a Blu-only edition like the UK edition) The Qatsi Trilogy Salo In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai box set coming soon) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters El Norte Crumb Repo Man House King of the Hill (Dual Format) A Hard Day's Night (Dual Format) Eraserhead Mulholland Dr. The New World Dr. Strangelove Most of these have digipak packaging, which probably explains the delay.

If you're thinking of movies to watch before they leave Criterion Channel, check out The Juniper Tree. It's an early predecessor of the 2010s wave of "family drama with folk horror trappings" a la The Witch or Hereditary. It has a much more placid tone than those movies, though. It has gorgeous black and white landscape cinematography, and some compelling performances from Bjork and the other much more obscure Icelandic actors.

I've been watching through Celine Sciamma's films on Criterion Channel, which is really the only easy way to watch them in the US. Tomboy is great and leaves this month. I highly recommend it. Water Lilies was an impressive debut film. It's crazy how emotionally complex it is compared to her later films. It's interesting how, at 4 films, it's already to see that her first three films are kinda like a cohesive collection, and she's onto something new with Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Still need to check out Girlhood.

Oh yes, I watched that last month, it's really good, and it 100% reminded me of The Witch, only more ethereal and mysterious. I love how they communicate visually how she often can't entirely make out what she sees in her visions, particularly that shot through the window. Definitely worth watching.

Really excited for this. I've wanted to see more Varda (only Cleo so far and a few shorts). With the Bergman set, I had only seen four out of the 39 films and I finished the box as a die-hard fan. I know it'll be the same with this. And we still have normal announcements by the end of the week, hopefully. I'll probably be wrong, but this probably means Wong Kar-Wai for October and Fellini for November. (And it wouldn't surprise me if they had the Blu-only reprint of The Essential Jacques Demy announced for August as well)

I feel like Varda's work has done nothing but age gracefully. The benefit of hindsight has demonstrated just how far ahead she was, and is, of most everybody.
