🏞️Wes Anderson's Criterion Top 10 (well, 12)
his words, not mine - quoted straight from the fan letters he used to send Criterion. 2010, so some of this is only on disc now.
01
The Earrings of Madame de... (Max Ophuls, 1953)
his words, not mine: 'max ophuls made a perfect film.' the louise de vilmorin interview on the disc is apparently very funny too.
02
Au hasard Balthazar (Robert Bresson, 1966)
he watched this with donald richie and it wrecked him. the donkey doesn't make it and you feel every minute of it.
03
Pigs and Battleships (Shohei Imamura, 1961)
04
The Insect Woman (Shohei Imamura, 1963)
05
Intentions of Murder (Shohei Imamura, 1964)
the imamura box set, all three together. he says vengeance is mine was the only one he knew before this.
06
The Taking of Power by Louis XIV (Roberto Rossellini, 1966)
07
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (Martin Ritt, 1965)
first time he'd seen it. the le carre interview on the disc apparently gets him too.
08
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (Peter Yates, 1973)
three words from him: 'it's not upbeat.' start here if you want proof.
09
Classe tous risques (Claude Sautet, 1960)
10
L'enfance nue (Maurice Pialat, 1968)
pialat, via the criterion a nos amours disc. he wants every pialat film they can license.
11
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (Paul Schrader, 1985)
one of his favorites, period, not just on this list. watched it twice back to back with the schrader commentary on.
12
The Exterminating Angel (Luis Bunuel, 1962)
Or start a list of your own. Free, it takes a minute.
