The Criterion Project

We're doing something a little different this episode! The prestigious Sight and Sound poll of the Best Movies of All Time is conducted every ten years, with the results to be revealed later this year. We didn't get a ballot to vote on the poll itself, but that's never stopped us in the past! We are creating a communal ballot of the ten best movies ever - according to us! Some of the movies discussed in this episode include: The Wizard of Oz, The Gold Rush, Mulholland Drive, and more!

Rachel and Conrado take on one of the big classics, The 400 Blows is one of the movies responsible for kick-starting the French New Wave, featuring Jean-Pierre Leaud as troubled kid Antoine Doinel, and based largely on director François Truffaut's own childhood experiences, the movie has influenced practically every coming-of-age movie that's come since.

Conrado and Rachel strap their Judo belts tight and travel to Hong Kong to talk about the first movie by prolific director Johnnie To to be included in the Criterion Collection. Known for violent gangster movies and frothy romantic comedies, Throw Down stands out in his filmography as a martial arts melodrama heavily inspired by the work of Akira Kurosawa.

We are joined by Manish Mathur fom the It Pod to Be You podcast to talk about the sweeping historical melodrama SENSO, which comes courtesy of Luchino Visconti, one of the most fascinating Italian directors. In this tale of doomed romance set during the time of Italian unification, a Venetian Countess falls in love with an (enemy) Austrian officer. It's grand, sweeping, operatic - it's cinema!

Our intro is written by Michael Lloret: https://www.michael-lloret.com/

We revisit Richard Linklater, one of our personal favorites, and go back to the very beginning: when he broke through with his low budget, talky, and sprawling vision of outsider life in Austin. SLACKER - with its conversations about weird dreams, conspiracy theories, and the monetary value of Madonna's pap smear - was instrumental in kicking off the boom in American independent cinema in the 90s, which makes it a fascinating movie to revisit thirty years later.
