“The movie is a mighty, intimate, kaleidoscopically subjective, bravely self-searching summation of a career, an era, and a life. For decades, it was a rare VHS tape, a treasured occasional revival screening, and, more recently, a covert YouTube treasure. Its release on DVD and Blu-ray is cause for celebration; it’s one of the revival events of the year.”

Less than a month until its release on Criterion DVD and Blu-Ray. You can check out Criterion’s announcement here. I am so proud to be a part of this major event. Seriously. I would be thrilled that Criterion was releasing Love Streams even if I wasn’t involved with it. I’ve been watching my own battered VHS tape for years. But to be a part of it makes it even more special!
I can’t wait! Are you back? Can we go to the movies? Master Builder, perhaps?
I am back! Would love to go to the movies. You have to see Ida!! (Just posted about it.) I think you’ll love it.
Master Builder would be fun – Thursday or Friday? I should be caught up on work by then!
There’s a 6:30 on thursday I could do. Would that work? If so, let’s go ahead and buy our tickets! I saw your post on Ida – looks just beautiful.
I think I can do that. Where is it playing?
I love that we are making plans in the comments section of my site.
Film Forum.
does that work for you?
Yes! It’s a date!
