    *"everything today is not surprising"* that is a deeply eloquent and accurate portrayal of today's society that I've never heard before but felt without articulating, many times everyday for the past years

    someone should make a compilation of all the times someone has said something along the lines of "i feel like a kid in a toy store" in the criterion closet lmao

      Toy/Candy Store.....let's be honest though who wouldn't? Even if I quibble about Criterion's selection, I'd still feel the same.

    Love this guy's vibe. Hearing him describe the plot of Close-up made me desperately want to see it.

    I remember reading about CLEAN SHAVEN in Film Threat magazine.
    Sadly, back then, I had no chance of really seeing it.

    Bonnello’s Nocturama should be on Criterion if it isn’t already. Like Godard’s La Chinoise whittled down to something as precise and pitiless as Kubrick’s The Killing. Yet also a poem.

    I loved Close Up too, I felt so deeply sorry for this poor young ( at the time ) man, I wonder whatever happened to him, and if he is still around, I would love to see a follow up from someone who worked with, or just a fan of, Kiarostami and the movie.

    Close Up is a great film I would highly recommend . However the last scene Mr. Bonello mentions when he said the films director Kiarostami picks 'the impersonator ' up at the prison is not quite right . The scene is even more beautiful when you realize just who it is meeting him upon his release and who will act as his liaison in the closing scene . Quite touching .

    How come no one ever chooses films from the back wall? Is it just floor to ceiling all the unsold copies of Border Radio?

    Lodge Kerrigan directed along with Amy Seimetz the first season of The Girlfriend Experience 2016, some of the best small screen cinema. I don’t know what he’s up to more recently. I prefer Keane to Clean Shaven though Peter Greene in the latter doesn’t look like he’s acting one bit, one of the most real, raw, disturbing depictions of mental illness you’ll ever see.

    How come everyone that comes in the closet acts like die-hard Criterion & film fans yet they take what they proclaim are so of their favourite films, how come they don't have copies of them already? LOL

      Many of these folks over the age of 35 probably have extensive DVD or even VHS collections of these films. Nothing beats a great Criterion Blu-ray transfer.

      They might want to have an extra copy for their summer home on the other side of the country.

      I think in some cases they have other editions or even the Criterion one and are just playing along.
