Le truc avec le #CriterionCloset, c’est que tu te demandes toujours : « il va prendre combien de films ? » Normalement c’est raisonnable : 4 ou 5 coffrets.

Et puis il y a celle qui y va franco ! VINGT COFFRETS ! dont celui des 6 contes moraux, celui des 3 rossellini/bergman et celui de la trilogie de la vie. Et puis plein d’autres assez bien choisis. MDR

Natasha Lyonne’s Closet Picks

The actor, producer, writer, and director shares why she thinks Naked is best watched alone, discusses her favorite cinematographer James Wong Howe’s work on Sweet Smell of Success, and suggests a Bob Fosse and Richard Pryor double feature.

Le placard aux trésors de Criterion, c’est un truc épatant !

On prend un people du milieu du ciné (réal, acteur, écrivain), on l’immerge dans le placard de Criterion, et il choisit les DVD/Blu-ray dont il a envie, en commentant.

Quand on passe par le web de Criterion plutôt que par Youtube, on a la liste de ces quelques films (qui sont à vendre bien sûr).

Étonnante cinéphilie de ces gens ! bien sûr, il y a des modes, mais c’est du solide aussi. Voyez combien choisissent Wanda ; voyez combien aiment Bresson et Tati… par snobisme ? je ne crois pas. Le panachage des choix montre que non.

Criterion Closet: The Amazing Jamie Lee Curtis

This has to be my favorite Criterion Closet video… not just because I love and adore Jamie Lee Curtis but every pick has a story and a reason and a connection.

Brilliant

Jamie Lee Curtis's Closet Picks

Why are people waiting for six or seven hours to get into a van full of DVDs, Blu-rays and 4Ks — many of which are easy to buy online? Film critic Bilge Ebiri investigates the appeal of the Criterion Closet, a retrofitted truck containing the boutique home-video label's collection. “I knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” says film critic Francisco “Fico” Cangiano. “Any fan of Criterion who hasn’t wished, hoped, or dreamt about being inside the closet is straight-up lying.”
