The Criterion Channel -- Film and Content Discussion

They had me at “Quebec prison.”

I do wish the “synth scores” series included The Mosquito Coast, which would tie in with Paul Schrader, too

Fantastic to see Lilies on there. One of my favorite films of the 90's and my favorite Greyson (which is saying a lot). Hope this portends a Blu release finally.

What are some of your other favorite Greyson films?

What are some of your other favorite Greyson films?

I like all his work to one extent or another. He has always been restlessly inventive and experimental with form. Zero Patience is probably the other obvious peak, though I also especially like Proteus and Urinal and his "doc" Fig Trees is remarkable. The one I struggle with most and am most ambivalent about is The Law of Enclosures simply because I love the book it's based on and Greyson makes some creative decisions in adapting it which I can't fully get behind; a beautiful movie otherwise though and one that should be seen more than it has been.

Looking at the expiring on June 30 list and both Comrades: Almost a Love Story and The Cat are both leaving. Comrades is going back in WB's Golden Harvest jail, don't know who has the US rights to The Cat.
