Days of Heaven - Criterion Collection87 reviews
Richard Gere, Brooke Adams
Criterion, 2007
Visually Brilliant
+ Light Magic
+ masterpiece theatre!
This remarkable film takes full advantage of the medium to tell a story with an absolute minimum of dialogue. The use of camera and music elevates a simple story of a love triangle to the level of epic myth.
The opening sequence of the film uses still shots and music to transport the viewer ...

The Night Porter (Criterion Collection Spine #59) 52 reviews
Dirk Bogarde, Charlotte Rampling
Criterion, 2000
Examing evil, embracing cruelty

Examining the very essence of evil, grappling with the demons attached to memory. The Night Porter is a sordid tale of a concentration camp survivor coming face to face with her devastating past--her ex-torturer/lover. The lurid, graphic images simmer and boil over in her mind, scalding the ...

Salo, or the 120 Daysof Sodom187 reviews
Paolo Bonacelli, Giorgio Cataldi
Criterion Collection, 2008
Masterpiece but difficult
+ Film as art not as entertainment
I'll avoid what surely others have written or said about this film and point out that even in 2008, it's still as shocking and relevant as it was in the '70's. In an age where sex(uality) is used to sell everything (except sex), processed food is revealed to be mostly junk, and the media ...
