Went a little heavier than I planned during yesterday's Flash Sale, given I've been traveling a lot recently, but I can't argue against any on my purchases:
The New World
Roma
One-Eyed Jacks
Chimes at Midnight
Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project (Volume I)
Some really great directors represented in the first four: the only pre-
Tree of Life Malick film I haven't seen, meant to be an underappreciated gem; Criterion's most recent Fellini release, and one of my favorite types of narrative (
city as subject); Brando's only directorial effort, another meant to be an underappreciated gem, as well as a brooding, highly-psychological western; and perhaps my favorite Welles film (all deference to
Citizen Kane and
F for Fake). The fifth and final item I'm treating more as a challenge: all of the films in said set (with the exception of Kim Ki-young's
The Housemaid, which I have seen a couple times and which is brilliant) represent stories or storytellers that are understudied by me, so I'm attempting to remedy that.
