• On the Channel: Memory on Film

    Blue_large

    Cinema’s ability to evoke the knotty complexities of time, truth, and subjective experience makes it an ideal medium for exploring memory, a theme that has long been a source of fascination for artists. This week on the Criterion Channel, our series Memory on Film highlights some of the world’s most celebrated auteurs and their haunting journeys through lost time, including an operatic portrait of grief from Krzysztof Kieślowski, a radical travelogue from Chris Marker, and an aching meditation on forbidden love from Wong Kar-wai. For a preview of this seven-film selection, check out the teaser below.

    Oh, does this mean The Mirror is coming out on a proper DVD/Blu-Ray release through Criterion?

      I believe the Mirror will be release through criterion. Stalker is also on the channel as well as Andrei Rublev (already here but needs a blu-ray upgrade, hope they include both versions). I can't wait for them.
