  • Grant L Fletcher Helps Us Uncover Guillermo del Toro’s Special and Unique Relationship with The Criterion Collection

    The CINEMA CENTRIC meet up for an episode with Grant L Fletcher to dig into Guillermo del Toro’s special and unique relationship with The Criterion Collection. We explore how del Toro, a passionate cinephile and celebrated filmmaker, became the first person to step into the Criterion Closet on camera, setting a trend for others to follow. We’ll also unpack his influence on Criterion’s curated releases, examining how his love for cinema has shaped and inspired the inclusion of certain films in their catalog. Plus, we tackle the question: Why does Criterion still occasionally release contemporary films, despite discontinuing the practice in the late 90s?
