I miss taking pictures with my Samsung tablet, but some are saved here by sharing them in the past.
These are the big 3
the 3 best box sets i've ever gotten so far, from The Criterion Collection, on stunning Blu-ray. Maybe in the future a mega set will be done by them in UHD, and that would be SUPERB!!
Here i'd like to give another try at dissecting them, as i go through them, to help others know how good they are, and to keep occupied during the days, weeks and months till i can spend some more. These sets are gifts that keep on giving!!
Ingmar Bergman's Cinema
30 discs, about 90% of his filmography, the major ones have extras while the minor ones are paired 2 a piece on a disc. And it has a large impressive book of essays. When i got this i was driven mad, and spent hundreds on Bergman books, and a few titles only on DVD.
The Complete Films of Agnes Varda
15 discs, the entire oeuvre of the Mother of the Nouvelle Vague, she is just a pure delight.
Essential Fellini
14 features, lots of supplements and one long ass documentary on Marcello Mastroianni.
Variety Lights - not too shabby! This disc has part 1 of a 4 part interview with Federico, and a 100 minute documentary that has footage of him directing, always interesting, and little snippets of films not in this set. I reiterate from other posts, next purchase is gonna complete my FF collection, and i feel excellent about it!!
The White Sheik - Orson Welles' favorite Fellini, and it is pretty good.
I vitelloni - Scorsese liked this one a lot and inspired Mean Streets. It is what is being watched as i decide to post this. A very fine film, about these lazy guys and one of them is unfaithful to his wife, and he like has to be taught a lesson. Fellini shows a gifted touch for emotional storytelling with the help of Nino Rota's evocative score.
other Criterion sets to keep on enjoying
World of Wong Kar Wai
Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project
The Apu Trilogy
Dekalog
The Koker Trilogy
The Road Trilogy
