I am not the avid Criterion collector but when it comes to buying a movie that I really DO want, nothing beats the Criterion presentation........as you all know. I was shocked, pleasantly, when I learned Criterion was releasing one of my all-time favorite movies-Something Wild. And when Cul-De-Sac was announced, I did a double take too. I already owned the region 2 version on dvd(one of the reasons I bought an all-regions player) so I wrestled mightily with the decision on whether to buy the new Criterion release. I decided I am content with my region 2 disc and the Criterion wasn't necessary. Am happy to own my mini-Godard collection and am an enthusiastic Anna Karina admirerer. I think Irene Jacob is the reincarnation of Anna Karina and likewise Cotillard/Jacob.

  • Favorite director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet / Roman Polanski / Alfred Hitchcock
  • Favorite Criterion edition: Something Wild
  • Most wanted in the collection: Eclipse sets for George Kuchar and Andy Warhol and Six In Paris (Paris Vu Par)
