The CC runs only the butchered US cut of Arizona Dream. Why bother?

It came from a land down under . . . From the early seventies through the mideighties, a resurgence of government funding for national film production gave birth to a generation of brave, unconventional new voices who made Australia the home to a brief but bright-burning cinematic renaissance. Among the filmmakers who emerged from this artistic flowering were pivotal figures like Peter Weir, George Miller, Gillian Armstrong, Bruce Beresford, Fred Schepisi, and Phillip Noyce, many of whom went on to successful international careers. Encompassing subversive visions of Australian history (PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, MY BRILLIANT CAREER), dystopian science-fiction cult classics (MAD MAX, THE CARS THAT ATE PARIS), groundbreaking coming-of-age dramas (THE DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND, PUBERTY BLUES), and beyond, these formally bold, thematically provocative films delved into the intricacies of Australian society and identity with newfound fearlessness. Among their most urgent concerns was for the country’s relationship to and mistreatment of its Indigenous people, as seen in works like THE CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH, WALKABOUT, STORM BOY, and THE LAST WAVE, the last three of which all star legendary Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil, who stands as one of the movement’s most enduring faces.

Burn the royal family for warmth, leave their heads on pikes.

I can't find Phantom Lady from the list above.... That was one I was hoping to revisit.

Not every title lands on the 1st

I don't have a text list, but here's a Letterboxd list of the September titles, including Sátántangó.

https://letterboxd.com/chrissweet1967/list/filmlist:12274787/detail/by/name/

I'm still far more likely to rewatch all the Albert Brooks films than I am to give Sátántangó a go, frankly.

Sátántangó is worth watching though, even if in increments

am looking forward to seeing Miguel Gomes' Tabu

finally watched Elmer Gantry tonight, I liked it but mainly for Burt Lancaster's role

lol @ Criterion Channel sliding ever closer to my own collection (a fate that I can imagine true cineastes finding lamentable).

Larry Cohen AND Park Chan Wook in the same month. The world outside is a shitshow, but there some things I can still believe in.

Don't SLEEP on Deathdream.

Season of the Witch, Strait-Jacket, and The Witch Who Came from the Sea are the sleepers I'll recommend.

Seconding The Witch Who Came from the Sea which doesn't totally work but commits impressively to being weird

Really love Christine out of that list as well.

Watched Death Line aka Raw Meat the other night and had a great time, hysterical film-stealing performance by Donald Pleasance

I've seen many of those Joan Crawfords (Harriet Craig and Possessed are tops). Anyone seen The Damned Don’t Cry?

Let’s Scare Jessica to Death is so melancholy, dreamy and great.

I’ve seen it before via a hazy VHS rip (which added its own charm) but revisiting it today was well worth it.

cool, they have the version of Joan of Arc scored by Adrian Utley and Will Gregory

There is still a FilmStruck YouTube channel?

When I see stuff like Once Upon a Time in the West that's been streaming on a bunch of other services, I'm always curious if Criterion is streaming a different "print," as such.

Weird how many horror movies they're launching the day after Halloween.

Perhaps they had been licensed to other streaming services through 10/31?

On the underrated horror side, I highly recommend Mad Love and The Uninvited.

The Seventh Victim is pretty great too, and incredibly bleak.

HIGHLY recommend Dark Days.

On the underrated horror side, I highly recommend Mad Love and The Uninvited.

― OrificeMax (Old Lunch)

and The Servant.

Housekeeping is a rare beautiful adaptation of a great novel.

v last minute but I'm working my way thru the Quay Bros shorts that are leaving in 2 days and they're SUCH a treat, I've seen them all before but not in like a decade. Def worth a gander.

The Uninvited is one of my all time favorite movies, a classic studio product in the best sense.

How come The Virgin Suicides is featured at the top but is also going away tomorrow?

Cohen Film Collection in. Lots of Chabrol in there iirc from the Kanopy days.

Damn, Redd that wrong. It’s in Kino Now.

I've seen most of the Joan Blondell collection.

Best: Night Nurse (amazing film), Three on a Match, Blondie Johnson, Dames

Also good: Union Depot, He Was Her Man

Others are meh. None are bad though.

I just watched Night Nurse a few days ago, it was so great!! Three on a Match and Dames also amazing.

Also I didn't mention Gold Diggers of 1933 cause I'd seen it several times before but that is a classic also

This is quite the set of Afrofuturist and sci-fi shorts! (I'm sure I've missed some.)

Between this, and the feature-length offerings (Space Is the Place, The Brother From Another Planet, The Last Angel of History, Crumbs, the two Adirley Queiros films) I'm surprised they didn't curate them as an actual collection. Maybe that's coming later?

the email announcing the december movies started "As the year draws to an end, we’re turning our gaze toward things to come, with an international, intergalactic program of Afrofuturist visions of Black creativity, resistance, and freedom" so it will be a collection

I'm curious as to whether Space is the Place is the original or director's cut version.

xp Yeah, I went and looked at the email after I posted that (they go to my spam, lol) and from there to the December calendar -- looks like the Afrofuturist collection 'premieres' on the 20th, which I assume means the introduction and any other interview packages will go live then.

Wow, Space is the Place! I've never been able to find a copy of that

Is there a predictable timeline as to when a film reissued by Criterion goes onto the Criterion Channel? I didn't realize that An Unmarried Woman was rereleased this past June. I have the channel, so if possible, I'd like to avoid the cost of a DVD

Some films enter the permanent streaming library almost immediately, some get added for 1, 2 or 3 month engagements, some don't get added at all. So, no, no predictable timeline.

Thanks--I'll give it till the new year, and if it's not up by then I'll buy it.
