Chronicle of a Summer

Chronicle of a Summer – $530 / Blue Ray – $685

11 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Chronicle of a Summer Few films can claim to be as influential to the course of cinema history as this one. The fascinating result of a collaboration between filmmaker-anthropologist Jean Rouch (Moi, un noir) and sociologist Edgar Morin, this vanguard work of what Morin would term cinéma verité is a brilliantly conceived and realized sociopolitical diagnosis of the early sixties in France. By simply interviewing a group of Paris residents in the summer of 1960—beginning with the provocative and […]

Through film clips, journal entries, and personal musings, ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF ANDREI ARSENEVICH is renowned French filmmaker Chris Marker‘s homage to his friend and colleague, Andrei Tarkovsky, who died in 1986.

Detropia (2012)

Detropia – $575

14 January, 2013 by rgonzalezr

World on a Wire (Criterion Collection) (1973) normal

World on a Wire (Criterion Collection) – $540 / Blue ray – $695

14 January, 2013 by rgonzalezr

World on a Wire is a gloriously paranoid, boundlessly inventive take on the future from German wunderkind Rainer Werner Fassbinder (The Marriage of Maria Braun). With dashes of Stanley Kubrick, Kurt Vonnegut, and Philip K. Dick, as well as a flavor entirely his own, Fassbinder tells the noir-spiked tale of a reluctant action hero, Fred Stiller (The Odessa File’sKlaus Lowitsch), a cybernetics engineer who uncovers a massive corporate conspiracy. At risk? (Virtual) reality as we know it. Originally made for German […]
