Tarkovsky, Shepitko, Eisenstein and Come and See, for sure.

from this month's additions, The Plot Against Harry is great. you'd think if it was actually released at the time instead of rejected by studios, it'd have launched Michael Roemer into an even more considerable career. Just absolutely excellent throughout, and meandering in the best way.

No Jean Grémillon before 1937? CC I am disappoint. (I've seen all of the scheduled films except The Strange M. Victor, and will vouch for them, but we need good copies of Daïnah la Métisse and La Petite Lise.)

Oh man! End of the Century on Queersighted -- one of the 2010s least seen good films.

Oh I might have to finally work myself up to Come and See. How bad could it be, right? :)

Give yourself a couple extra hours or days to recover from it, but see it.
