CRITERION LISTS

Criterion website

Lots of new releases from the Criterion Collection recently.

This summer for instance they rereleased their issue of the long out of print Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom. A cult flick, though more or less a slog to sit through, unless your eager to see some of Jack-Ass like humiliations that the young and attractive cast are put through by their psychotic Fascist hosts. But needless to say the film has it’s fans and will continue to be a curio for a new generation of gawkers.


Upcoming Criterion will be releasing some titles never before available on DVD here in the US, including a couple of from Melville, Le Doulos (1962) and Le Deuxieme Souffle (1966) and Samuel Fuller’s 1982 Kristy McNicol disasterpiece White Dog which is more less “Cujo meets Falling Down meets Little Darlings.


They are also putting out their own issue of Costa-Gavras’ powerful Missing from 1982. The Universal Studios edition is still in print, but it’s good news that the leftist filmmaker is joining the Criterion family. A number of his other films have been unavailable here. I would love to see Criterion take on his brilliant State Of Siege (1973) which has only been available on a long out of print VHS edition.


The Criterion website lists film makers MY TOP TEN CRITERIONS

Here's hack autuor Allan Arkush not very interesting list.

Because everyone loves lists, I’ll add MY TOP CRITERIONS...

4) The Naked Prey (Wilde 1966)
