So A Room with a View is Spine 775 for those keeping score. It's interesting that Moonrise Kingdom wasn't given that one since people have noted that Anderson's movies often get "milestone" spine numbers.

Rushmore - 65
Royal Tenenbaums - 157
Life Aquatic - 300
Bottle Rocket - 450
Darjeeling Limited - 540
Fantastic Mr Fox - 700
Moonrise Kingdom - 776

Love this month!

Two Beresfords, Kieslowski that I never expected, and haven't seen the Honeymoon Killers.

Also could A Room With a View bode well for Howard's End coming back in print?

CriterionBlues · 06-16-2015, 09:20 PM

This also confirms the New Year's Clue with the window was A Room With a View, which I thought was obvious, but there were doubters because of the Ivory relationship.

Two for me (Blind Chance, Moonrise Kingdom) with a potential one (A Room with a View) more, can't complain really. A merely okay month.

bwdowiak · 06-16-2015, 09:21 PM

I can't wait to read the news item comments tomorrow. Those are always fun.

yoyokid8 · 06-16-2015, 09:22 PM

Another month waiting for more Wong Kar-Wai... but The Honeymoon Killers definitely intrigues me. Will definitely check that one out. That Moonrise Kingdom art is gorgeous.

Definitely need to watch a Kieślowski movie.

Sorry

I'm in for Moonrise Kingdom, Breaker Morant and Blind Chance. I blind-bought the Three Colors trilogy around my birthday last year, was blown away by it and now want to watch as much Kieslowski as I can get my hands on. The Double Life of Veronique is on my list to get as well, and like most others, I am hoping for Criterion to release The Decalogue too.

Aesthetically it's gorgeous like most Ivory films!
Now, I don't know if you would like it story-wise.
It certainly is a less favourite of mine than Maurice, Howards End and The Remains of the day, but still it's essential Ivory!

MifuneFan · 06-16-2015, 09:24 PM

3 of the 6 from this month were from the New Year's drawing

Breaker Morant
Moonrise Kingdom
A Room with a View

Make The Double Life of Veronique a priority. Incredible film.

With the exception of Remains of the Day I can't stand pretty much all his films and A Room With A View is certainly on my overrated prestigious list.

Interesting month. Nothing that shocked me, but that isn't the point. I never did pick up the old OOP Breaker Morant so this BLU should be nice. Will also buy a Room with a View.

Cinematt · 06-16-2015, 09:28 PM

I'm going to be very disappointed if Cousin Ben Troop Screening with Jason Schwartzman isn't included on Moonrise Kingdom. It had better be part of 'more!' in the feature listings!

So, you haven't seen any Ivory film? (I've also seen The Europeans, so that's 5 in total)
To me they are the most beautiful period/costume-drama films.
I consider them genre-defining films.

MifuneFan · 06-16-2015, 09:29 PM

I have a strong feeling next month is going to be huge. The New World, Mulholland Drive, The Brood. Imagine Malick, Lynch, and Cronenberg in the same month?

. (Probably a good time to throw in an unfavorable title like Jellyfish Eyes too

)
