Heads up: The Man who Fell to Earth is on Mubi right now. I believe that is the only place to stream it right now (without ads).

I too love House. I am surprised it is pretty popular among Criterion fans because I have tried to turn on multiple friends to it with no luck. They think there is something wrong with me for loving it. Your right about there being no other criterions like it (except maybe the ones already listed). I think you should check out The Happiness of the Katakuris. I think you will LOVE it. I was hoping Criterion would release it but then Arrow put out an an amazing region free edition that I highly recommend....

See, I come at it from a completely different angle. I think the Pistols were first moreso than great. There's at least a dozen late seventies punk bands I'd place ahead of them.

That said, Sid and Nancy is one of my favorite films. I'd hesitate to call it a biopic as it only covers like the last four months of his life. It's more of a chamber piece about a toxic relationship.

At any rate, next time I watch it I'm going to sandwich it between "My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue)" and "Hey, Hey, My, My (Into the Black)." I can't believe I've never done that.

No one has ever acknowledged Sid Vicious as a great musician. He was never supposed to be. That's punk rock, dammit.

Sid & Nancy is excellent btw, and still Oldman's best performance for me.

This is lazy criticism that does not enagaue with the material. Do better next time. Unless by disgusting you are referring to Dunham’s aggressive whiteness, racist attitudes, her defense of sexual predators, or her lack of empathy to LGBTQ people. If “disgusting” to you is that she is plus sized and appears naked then get out of here with your nonsense.

There is a lot not to like about Tiny Furnature, but a fair amount of people like it. I honestly don’t think this particular forum is a great venue for discussion about The film, as the majority of people here are aggressively not the target audience and I would not expect the film to land smoothly on them, so keep that in mind. This is also not a meg against the wounderful people who post here, not every movie is for you and that is ok. It’s a very particular snapshot of a very alienating demographic. It fell flat for me, in its failure to convince me of its protagonist’s interests, but you may feel differently.

I do wish Criterion would spend a bit more time upgrading its DVD catalogue to Blu-ray.

One title I really want to see on BD is À nos amours.

If for nothing else, people should see the film for his performance. Incredible.

As far as Mishima, the packaging is so beautiful I think it would be worth picking up just for that (and for the film of course). Even if you upgrade later you could consider what I mentioned and use the DVD package to hold the new disc unless the Blu is released in a similarly beautiful design.

If nothing else, based on what was said in an earlier post, your purchase gets one more DVD off the shelf and gets us closer to the DVD stock being sold out, and then onto the Blu production!

If I win the lotto one of the things on my to-do list is buy up a bunch of the DVDs to move this process along!

INGMAR BERGMAN
CENTENNIAL RETROSPECTIVE
Wednesday, February 7 – Thursday, March 15

FIVE-WEEK, 47-FILM FESTIVAL COMMEMORATING THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF LEGENDARY DIRECTOR INGMAR BERGMAN’S BIRTH

COMPREHENSIVE RETROSPECTIVE, PART OF GLOBAL TRIBUTE, INCLUDES 35 NEW RESTORATIONS

Presented in association with Janus Films, Swedish Film Institute and Ingmar Bergman Foundation

INGMAR BERGMAN, a 5-week, 47-feature film festival celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the cinema’s greatest artists, will run at Film Forum from Wednesday, February 7 through Thursday, March 15. The retrospective is part of a global celebration of Bergman’s centennial (already underway in London), described by the Swedish Film Institute as “the largest jubilee of a single filmmaker.”

The most comprehensive Bergman festival ever presented in New York (including nearly every feature he directed), it will include 35 new restorations of his most iconic films, including THE SEVENTH SEAL, WILD STRAWBERRIES, and PERSONA; his earliest works as screenwriter and director from the 40s and early 1950s; rarely-screened later works, including THE TOUCH and THE SERPENT’S EGG; new restorations of complete television films SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE and FANNY AND ALEXANDER; and films written by Bergman but directed by others.

Perhaps the most pivotal event in the life of Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007) was at age 10, when he traded half his toy soldiers for a movie projector. From his earliest youth growing up in Upsalla, Sweden, Bergman was among the most hardened of film buffs, and from his university days an enfant terrible of the theater. He achieved his ambitions early, getting a screenplay (Frenzy) produced by Sweden’s
 top director and becoming the head of a 
major theater in Europe before he was 26 
– and making his first film (Crisis) before age 28.

To 
try to encapsulate his brilliant cinema career
 is impossible, but an overview would encompass his progression from tormented, sensitive male protagonists; to strong female leads; to a series 
of God-haunted works; to island-location “chamber” works; to powerful, scathing examinations of intimate relationships, with romantic comedies interspersed throughout; to the warmth and charm of his later The Magic Flute and Fanny and Alexander.

Bergman’s work with his stock company – including Max Von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand, Erland Josephson, Eva Dahlbeck, Ulla Jacobsson, Harriet Andersson, Ingrid Thulin, Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann – made him arguably the greatest director of actors in the history of the medium, and his overall technical mastery, his brutal honesty and relentless search for truth have made him, as well, one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

This festival will include DCPs and 35mm prints imported from Sweden, including 35 new restorations created by the Swedish Film Institute especially for the 2018 celebration.

The series opens on Wednesday, February 7 with perhaps Bergman’s most iconic film, THE SEVENTH SEAL, starring Bergman star (and sometime alter ego) Max Von Sydow as a knight back from the Crusades, who plays chess with Death as he travels in plague-ridden 14th-century Sweden in quest of his wife.

The festival showcases the other films of the 1950s and early 60s that first made Bergman an international art house sensation, including SAWDUST AND TINSEL, WILD STRAWBERRIES, SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT (screening on Valentine’s Day), THE VIRGIN SPRING, and THE MAGICIAN.

Bergman followed these iconic films with the so-called “silence of God” trilogy – THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY, WINTER LIGHT, and THE SILENCE – in which the Lutheran pastor’s son wrestled with his haunting relationship with God and existential emptiness. Beginning with Winter Light (1960), most of Bergman’s films were shot by the great cinematographer Sven Nykvist. PERSONA marked the beginning of a new period of piercing, women-centric psychological portraits and painful excavations of male-female relationships, including HOUR OF THE WOLF, SHAME, THE RITE, THE PASSION OF ANNA, CRIES AND WHISPERS, SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE, and AUTUMN SONATA, starring Ingrid Bergman.

In his later masterpieces, Bergman returned to his artistic and personal roots with theater and opera-centric works like THE MAGIC FLUTE and AFTER THE REHEARSAL, and the warm, mystical saga of childhood FANNY AND ALEXANDER.

The series includes Bergman’s little-seen early works, including his first feature, CRISIS, and other early discoveries IT RAINS ON OUR LOVE, PORT OF CALL, A SHIP TO INDIA, MUSIC IN THE DARK, SUMMER WITH MONIKA, and SUMMER INTERLUDE; as well as his first film written by him, FRENZY, directed by Alf Sjöberg. Among the most obscure bits of Bergmaniana is a 1951 soap commercial featuring his future star Bibi Andersson.

The festival also includes films scripted by Bergman and directed by other directors, including Bille August’s THE BEST INTENTIONS, Liv Ullmann’s PRIVATE CONFESSIONS, and SUNDAY’S CHILDREN, directed by Ingmar’s son Daniel.

Presented in associations with the Swedish Film Institute and the Ingmar Bergman Foundation. All restorations are courtesy of the Swedish Film Institute and Janus Films.

INGMAR BERGMAN has been programmed by Bruce Goldstein, Film Forum’s Director of Repertory Programming.

A sidebar to the series will pay tribute to the Bergman mentor and actor Victor Sjöström, one of the cinema’s first great masters. Best known as the old man in Bergman’s Wild Strawberries (he also appeared in Bergman’s To Joy). Sjöström was also one of Sweden’s first great directors and film stars. Five Sjöström silents will be screened: two from Sweden, The Phantom Carriage and The Outlaw and His Wife (both with Sjöström in the lead), and three from Hollywood, He Who Gets Slapped, The Scarlet Letter, and The Wind. All Sjöström screenings will include live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner.

There is a lot not to like about Tiny Furnature, but a fair amount of people like it.

Your post contains several misspellings - two of which I am not able to decipher what it is you were trying to say. Do better next time.

Your second paragraph is helpful and thoughtful. Your first paragraph is the type of reply that makes me feel disinclined to post here as much as I used to.

Please allow me to try my hand at putting forth a more intelligent and concise criticism of Tiny Furniture....
The film f***ing sucks, Lena Dunham f***ing sucks, I could care less that she's a fat slob, Chris Farley is still one of my favorite comedians. Who cares that she is a racist who wishes death upon white men? The midget Spike Lee hates white people too but Do the Right Thing is a masterpiece. There did I do better?

Ha, good call on Happiness of the Katakuris. I actually love that movie and used to be obsessed with it and stuff like Crazy Lips and Tetsuo: The Iron Man. While I was watching House I realized that it was clearly an inspiration for a lot of those types of movies and I was dumbfounded at how I've gone this long without seeing it. Didn't know about the Arrow release of Karakuris so I'll be picking that up along with Repo Man.

The Happiness of the Katakuris is a masterpiece of Japanese WTF-ery. The film never seems to be too dull at any point, because the wild and unpredictable nature of the film always entertains. Seriously, if anyone doesn't have this film, you're missing out.

I had forgotten to also include Valerie and Her Week of Wonders to the list.

The most similar one is Emotion, also by Nobuhiko Ôbayashi. I believe it's included as a feature on the House disc.

I can't think of any other Criterion film with such a palpable feel of nostalgia that's also wildly surreal. Some other Ôbayashi films that aren't in the collection do have that feeling, and, much like House, they're surreal paeans to childhood, although from what I've seen from him House seems to be his best.

If you want Japanese weirdness of any category, there's The X from Outer Space (1967), Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell (1968), Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (1990), Fighting Elegy (1966) and Tokyo Drifter (1966).
