I watched a few Kieślowski shorts. Wanted to watch a feature but I knew I'd fall asleep in the middle. Ulysses, he was the Frederick Wiseman of Poland for a few years, if that's an enticement to you.

I don't listen to many commentary tracks because I don't make a lot of time to rewatch films, but the commentary for The Limey is interesting and hilarious, with screenwriter Lem Dobbs grousing at Soderbergh's choices of what to cut from his script, and Soderbergh mostly just taking it, occasionally pushing back.

Just checked the Criterion Channel facebook group and apparently this is cropping up for a number of users. Alfred, do you watch on the laptop screen or push the video to a tv with an HDMI cable? It seems the cable and the tv have to be HDCP-compliant.
― Irritable Baal (WmC), Wednesday, 27 May 2020 19:17 (three years ago) link
I push the video to a TV from a laptop, and it will only work if I set the remote to the applicable option. Even if the connection is plugged in, Criterion won't play the film if I have the remote set to TV or DVD.
