Mabou Mines will delight to this foundational work, a film that Lee Breuer filmed in Paris in 1968 -- and his son completed a half century later. I wrote about it for @nytimestheater: https://t.co/jYbdPQTc6d

Time to pick April's #Criterion viewing! I have already seen (deep breath) UGETSU, SOME LIKE IT HOT, CHUNGKING EXPRESS, BASQUIAT and ANORA, so it's down to a pair of Claude Berri period epics and an early Sean Baker. Thanks!

@theater_lovers Well, depending on where Merman is now, she might need to make a few of those CALL ME MADAM performances after all.

I may be showing my age here but I thought once you made it to Oregon you and your family no longer died of dysentery.

Time to pick March's #Criterion viewing! Plenty of action from Henri-Georges Clouzot, Michael Mann and Kazuki Omori, plus a Little Tramp-free Chaplin, an Arthur Penn noir (with Gene Hackman) and a romantic drama from Alan Rudolph. Thanks!

[Eric Grode @EricGrode]

Time to pick February's #Criterion viewing! I've already seen PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, PERFORMANCE and CRONOS, so it's down to Shakespearean Godard, wistful Micklin Silver, lyrical Van Sant and unsettling Breillat. Thanks!

Fairly massive CHALLENGERS, SUBSTANCE and I SAW THE TV GLOW spoilers, so hold off if you need to, but this may be @davidehrlich's best countdown yet.

Time to pick January 2025's #Criterion viewing! I've already seen THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE and THE GRIFTERS, so it's down to a pair of Akira Kurosawa samurai films, Anthony Mann's noirish Western and Richard Pryor's semi-auto-biopic JO JO DANCER, YOUR LIFE IS CALLING. Thanks!

[Eric Grode @EricGrode]

I am so upset with whoever discovered that MARISA TOMEI is an anagram for IT'S-A ME, MARIO!!

Massive away win for the little fella.

I'd give anything to go back to a barter system. Which suggests I wouldn't fare well under a barter system.

[Eric Grode @EricGrode]

Time to pick December's #Criterion viewing! I've already seen 8 1/2 and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, so it's either an 1980s film from Wim Wenders or Sammo Hung, or a more recent offering from Bertrand Bonello or Ryusuke Hamaguchi. Thanks!

[Eric Grode @EricGrode]

If I ever came up with a line as good as the various GREAT GATSBY adaptations "miss[ing] the green light for the trees," I would get it tattooed on my forehead. @Helen_E_Shaw just plunks it in the middle of a review and brilliantly moves on.

@theater_lovers SWEET SMELL!: THE SUCCESS MUSICAL

[Eric Grode @EricGrode]

Time to pick November's #criterion viewing! I've already seen SEVEN SAMURAI and THE SOUND OF WATER, which leaves Ishiro Honda, Howard Hawks, Neo Sora, William Wyler (with one of the few major Broadway adaptations I haven't seen) and Peter Bogdanovich. Thanks!

[Eric Grode @EricGrode]

@BenjBrantley Many, many congratulations! Without knowing any details about the ceremony, I can vouch that being married is a lot more enjoyable than getting married. So enjoy!
