Criterion Collection- Huge Sale!

[alkytrio666]

Barnes and Noble is having a 50% off sale on Criterion Collection titles. If you're like me and can't often purchase DVDs for $35 a pop, you'll rejoyce when you see this. Most titles are running for $19.99, and there are a few gems (Bunuel's Simon of the Desert to mention one) that are going for around $13. If there was ever a time to purchase your favorite Criterion titles, this is it.

Enjoy!

[Papillon Noir]

Holy Crap! That's awesome! How long is the sale on for?

[alkytrio666]

August 2nd, I believe. Also, if anyone does order, post what you do on here. I'm trying to figure out what'll be on my list.

[Roderick Usher]

I may have to pick up THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY

[The_Return]

Wow - their Canadian shipping rates aren't even too bad. I'll be grabbing at least a couple, no questions asked.

Any ideas? If you were really cool you'd pick up a Bunuel and give him a shot.

Sounds like I plan to me...I was actually thinking about asking for suggestions. Which would be a good starting point for his work?

The only one I'll be picking up for sure is Eyes Without a Face, been dying to see that one for way too long. Otherwise...I'm open for suggestions. Probably end up getting 2-3.

I highly, highly, HIGHLY reccomend you pick up Viridiana. It's only $15, it's a great starting point for the director. It's creepy, funny, grotesque, absurd, surreal, blasphemous...your money would be well spent, and you'd be on your way to discovering the work of one of the cinema's all-time geniuses!

[The_Return]

Sounds like a plan to me - adding it to the cart!

Good chance for you to check out Clean, Shaven too, man - if you've got room in the cart for another, I think you'd really dig it.

Sounds like a deal.

[fortunato]

Oh yeah! I was going to post about this, but you beat me.

I just took advantage of it earlier today. Picked up:

Three Films by Hiroshi Teshigahara (I've been waiting forever to pick this one up.)
Jigoku
The Seventh Seal reissue
La Jetee/Sans Soleil

I highly, highly, HIGHLY reccomend you pick up Viridiana. It's only $15, it's a great starting point for the director.

Seconded!!!

Mwa-ha! Let me know what you think!

Seconded!!!

[urgeok2]

i never knew til now that Bottle Rocket had a criterion release

[newb]

is this just on-line only ?

[Papillon Noir]

I think I may do Eyes Without a Face and The Third Man, maybe Viridiana.

[Papillon Noir]

Okay, I finally went through the whole list (not just the bestsellers) and here's my list:

Definitely getting to replace VHS copies:
Black Narcissus
Chungking Express
Eyes Without a Face (I actually don't have this on VHS, but this is a must buy)

Ones I would like to get, but it's a long list:
The Last Emperor
The Virgin Spring
The Third Man
Time Bandits
Grand Illusion
8 1/2
M
The Red Shoes
Viridiana

Any suggestions on the "like to get" list? I have yet to see (but I know they're good) Virgin Spring, M, and only parts of the Red Shoes. Also, it's been a long time since I've seen Grand Illusion and 8 1/2, though I remember I liked them (though not why).

Out of your "like to get" list, I'd say the must-owns are:

The Virgin Spring
8 1/2
M
Viridiana
and probably even The Red Shoes.

[alkytrio666]

is this just on-line only ?
Nope.

On my way home from work today I stopped in my local store and got the very new release of Last Year at Marienbad for a baffling $20. They weren't even offering this one for half-off online because its such a recent release. I'm pretty sure I squealed out loud the moment I saw it.

Pap- I agree with Fortunato (with a heavy emphasis on Viridiana). I would also recommend from your list La Grande Illusion.

[alkytrio666]

Oh, and Fort- how much did you get the Seventh Seal reissue for? I'm picking that up later this week.

[newb]

thanks for the heads up....I may have to swing by my local B & N and check out the selection.

[fortunato]

I'm pretty sure it was 29.99, so not even $15 after using my BN Member card.

Amazing!

I'll be going back soon, and/or perhaps ordering some stuff online.

[JeffreyDeath]

Yes! I think I'm finally going to buy that copy of 3 Women.

[Papillon Noir]

@Fortunato & Alky

Thanks for the suggestions!

What I will be buying later today:

Viridiana (You guys convinced me! :) )
Eyes Without a Face
The Red Shoes
The Virgin Spring
The Last Emperor
Time Bandits

Those last two peaked the interest of my husband, so I gotta get those since he rarely lets me expand his cinematic horizons. :p

I also opted not to get DVDs for the ones I already have on VHS since they're still in excellent condition. I'd rather expand my collection then replace.

You're welcome! Can't wait to hear what you think of them- especially that first one. :)

Same here.

[fortunato]

Oh, dear. I'm going to end up spending all my money on this damn sale.

I just ordered online:

Carl Th. Dreyer boxset (another one I've been waiting forever to pick up)
Gate of Flesh
Made in U.S.A.
By Brakhage: An Anthology (replacement copy)
L'eclisse

I really want that Agnes Varda set, too.
This is bad.
And still two and a half more weeks to go.

[fortunato]

Picked up Wise Blood tonight.

[alkytrio666]

Picked up Wise Blood tonight.
I thought about picking that up the other day.
Tomorrow I plan on hitting a huge Barnes and Noble and picking up a few more.

Yeah, I've never seen it but I love the book.
And from what I hear, it's a wonderful adaptation.

Let us know what you pick up tomorrow.

[alkytrio666]

-Simon of the Desert

(By the way, Fort, you should pick this up. Funny as hell, and only a mere $12!)

-The Phantom of Liberty

-That Obscure Object of Desire

-L'avventura

They didn't have Eyes Without a Face or Clean Shaven, both of which I was planning on picking up.

I'm sure I'll be back to post more soon!

[fortunato]

-Simon of the Desert

(By the way, Fort, you should pick this up. Funny as hell, and only a mere $12!)

Oh, yeah. I really need to grab that one. I've actually never seen it, but I think you've recommended it to me before. I'm sure it's great.

L'avventura

Excellent purchase. Can't do much better than that.

I'm sure I'll be back to post more soon!

Yeah, I think I will too. I really want to get Cría cuervos.

[alkytrio666]

I saw Sansho the Bailiff there today. I've never seen it, but here it's quite good; I think I may pick it up this week. Have you seen it?

[fortunato]

I saw Sansho the Bailiff there today. I've never seen it, but here it's quite good; I think I may pick it up this week. Have you seen it?

No, I haven't seen that one unfortunately. I also hear it's great.

Have you ever checked out that Brakhage anthology by the way? It's quite an impressive set. I lost my original copy before I could finish the whole thing, but it's an incredible release. I don't know if you're familiar with this work, but it's so intense, kaleidoscopic and visceral. It really sends the mind into a whirl.

[alkytrio666]

Dah, no, but I've been itching to check some of his stuff out forever- I'm completely unfamiliar with Brakhage. Man, if I had a million dollars this sale would put me over.

[fortunato]

Haha no kidding.
You really must check out some of his work. Do you have Netflix or anything?
Or maybe even take a chance on the Criterion release.

Also: Just out of curiosity, what experimental cinema do you like?

When I go back to school, the university library almsot literally has everything- including every single Criterion release. I'll probably check it out then unless I stumble across it in a B&N in the right mood.

I have not seen much in the way of experimental, but I have seen some Jodorowsky, who interests me, and some of Painleve's crazier stuff. Any recommendations?

[fortunato]

I have not seen much in the way of experimental, but I have seen some Jodorowsky, who interests me, and some of Painleve's crazier stuff. Any recommendations?

Hm, let's see. Some of my favorites, other than Brakhage:

- Kenneth Anger
- Maya Deren
- Jan Švankmajer
- The Brothers Quay have done some interesting work certainly worth checking out

The early Dada guys had some great stuff: (obviously) Buñuel/Dalí's Un chien andalou, Jean Epstein's The Fall of the House of Usher (1928), Man Ray's L'Étoile de mer (1928), Marcel Duchamp's Anémic cinéma (1926), etc.

One of the more impressive short films I have ever seen is a 1926 piece by Dimitri Kirsanoff called Ménilmontant.

There is a wonderful DVD set that Kino released called Avant-Garde: Experimental Cinema of the 1920s and 30s that I would seriously recommend if you're interested in getting into more experimental work. Quite a few of the ones I've mentioned are included, actually (Ménilmontantis on there).

If you haven't seen The Man with the Movie Camera (1929) by Dziga Vertov, that's definitely worth a watch, too.

[Papillon Noir]

I second Maya Deren (Meshes on the Afternoon and At Land being the best) and Man with a Movie Camera (way ahead of it's time).

[fortunato]

Haha, that's Švankmajer, by the way. Apparently I had some copy/paste issues.

[alkytrio666]

Have you read Kino-Eye? I mostly liked it, he had a very interesting way at looking at the cinema, but godDAMN was that man high on himself!

[The_Return]

I think I'm going to just grab Eyes Without a Face and Viridiana for now...and then hopefully put in another order before the sale ends.

Very tempted to grab Dreyer's Passion of Joan of Arc - mostly because I'm such a huge fan of Antonin Artaud, and would love to see his performance here. (On a related note, I would love to see these guys put out a worthwhile edition of Abel Gance's Napoléon...even the heavily edited Coppola version is damn hard to come by these days, and you can forget about finding the original.)

First off, glad to see you going forth with Bunuel!

Second, AGREED! I still have not seen Gance's Napoleon; that and Greed have been torturing me with their serious absence.

[fortunato]

I haven't checked that out, actually. I've heard pretty much all around what you said: interesting but arrogant and annoying.

It's one of my all-time favorites. Completely spellbinding. I give it a 100% recommendation.
And while it's cool to see Artaud at work, all the performances (while good) are rendered invisible next to Falconetti as Joan. To quote Dreyer himself on the subject:

"In Falconetti, who plays Joan, I found what I might, with very bold expression, allow myself to call 'the martyr’s reincarnation'."

Also, it has some of the most stunning cinematography I've ever seen; the composition is completely revelatory (which sounds melodramatic, I know, but seriously...wait until you watch it).

Agreed!! I have Joan of Arc on VHS and it is spellbinding! You forget you are watching a silent film. Falconetti's performance is some of the best acting in history. Unfortunately, it was the last film she acted in and it was lost for 50 years until it was found in a janitor's closet.

Yeah, that's such a strange story.
If you only have the film on VHS, then you definitely should pick up the Criterion release.

[Elvis_Christ]

Anyone pick up Salo? I wanna see the special features.

[fortunato]

Anyone pick up Salo? I wanna see the special features.

Yeah, I bought that one back when they re-issued it.
The special features are great. Some in-depth interviews with appreciators of the film and people that worked on it, and a lot of digging-into the film, which is especially great with a work like Salo.

By the way, if anyone's interested, here is an incredible article written on Salo by Ben Simington:

http://www.theauteurs.com/notebook/posts/347

[alkytrio666]

I could go a few more years without seeing Salo again, but I'd love to see some of those documentaries/interviews soon.

Picked up The Seventh Seal (reissue) today on my way home from work- beautiful little package with some special features I cannot wait to discover...though it's a shame they couldn't get all of Bergman Island on there.

Thanks for posting that article, it was an interesting read. It's so true that the symmetry Pasolini uses is so alarmingly constant that it is almost the scariest part of the entire film. If nothing else, it was his strongest tool on the path to total coldness.

Definitely. It's more than a motif, really. He kind of created a strong backbone for the film. At any rate, it's powerful.

That's an amazing article! I didn't realize that Salo was so high-brow, I always heard it was smutty. I think I will have to see it now, at least for the Giotto references! :p

Also, I'd love to pick up the Criterion release of Joan of Arc, but I was really trying to limit myself. It hard because there are so many great releases that they have done.

My box from Barnes and Nobles arrived yesterday and I started with the Red Shoes and watch a bit this morning with breakfast. The cinematography is just amazing. I almost wish now that I picked up the Black Narcissus.

[alkytrio666]

Eyes Without a Face

Great purchases. Can't wait to hear what you think of either one.

[fallout09]

Amazon has a lot for $19.95 too. I just bought 7 blu-ray titles all for that price!

[alkytrio666]

Yeah I saw that- good price. It's only on blu, though, and I'm still far too poor for that upgrade.

[The_Return]

Ok - so I waited to the last second, but I finally placed my order. Funds are shorter than I'd thought, so I only went for 2 Criterions:

- Eyes Without a Face
- Virdiana

Rounded out the order with Bertolucci'a 1900 (Novecento)...they had it on for $4, couldn't resist.

Very much looking forward to this package :)

[fortunato]

Alright guys. I'll be really looking forward to some great Eyes Without a Face reviews soon. :D

[_____V_____]

Nice hauls, all three of you.
Its a real shame we dont have such offers and sales around these parts (heck I am lucky to even get some Criterion stuff!), and it sounds like a blast. Barnes & Noble seriously need to think about setting shop somewhere in India. Even if it was a 1000 miles away I d be frequenting it once a week.
Anyway, happy watching. Waiting to read all your opinions.

[alkytrio666]

I'll be a review-posting machine soon V!

[Papillon Noir]

I'm almost all the way through the Red Shoes (very impressed thus far), so I will have a review in the next day or so and then onto Viridiana! :)

[fortunato]

A very enthusiastic bump.

Man, I thought I'd never see this sale again, let alone only months after the last one:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/holiday-gifts/collection.asp?PID=31880&cds2Pid=16639&linkid=1503673

Rejoice!

***BUMP***

Criterion makes the best DVDs and Blu-rays. Their transfers are impeccable and their special features are fascinating. When you pay the $35-$40 for a Criterion Collection movie, you’re paying a premium but you’re getting your money’s worth.

But wouldn’t it be great if you could just pay half of that?

Barnes & Noble is having a special sale where ALL Criterion Collection movies that are currently in print are 50% off their list price!!! (which is what they normally sell for)

You probably won’t find another sale like this for probably at least a year so if you’ve been waiting to buy a particular Criterion DVD or Blu-ray, now’s the time!!

Click here and get yours - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/holiday-gifts/collection.asp?PID=31880&cds2Pid=16639&linkid=1503673

[Doc Faustus]

I swear Barnes and Noble has this sale to celebrate when I'm too broke to buy DVDs even at half price. It never fails.
