Bonus Features:<\/p>\n

Good Morning<\/em> includes the equally great feature I Was Born, But…<\/a><\/em> and extras by three of the greats (Rosenbaum, Cairns, Bordwell)<\/p>\n

Back in my Gilliam-obsessive days I watched every cut of Brazil<\/em>, saw all the extras, read the Jack Mathews book, and played at least one of those Life of Brian<\/em> commentaries.<\/p>\n

Enjoyed the 39 Steps<\/em> commentary on a plane. Rented the OG disc of Carnival of Souls<\/em> and dutifully watched all the industrial shorts. Seen everything on The Third Man<\/em> and Rushmore<\/em>. Didn’t love The Blob<\/em> commentary, and don’t recall if I heard the Fiend Without a Face<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ate up the Varda extras, which include the shorts The Story of an Old Lady<\/em> and the very great L’Opera Mouffe<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’ve probably seen quite enough<\/a> about Powell and Pressburger by now, but Return to the Edge of the World<\/a><\/em> was great and I wouldn’t mind catching the Mark Cousins doc.<\/p>\n

Should go through the For All Mankind<\/em> and Kurosawa extras sometime. Sirk too, though I recently saw Rock Hudson’s Home Movies<\/a><\/em>, included on the All That Heaven Allows<\/em> disc.<\/p>\n

Bought Autumn Sonata<\/em> but probably won’t ever get to the extended making-of features, and definitely won’t revisit the Magic Flute<\/em> doc – the Fanny & Alexander<\/a><\/em> extras look more enticing.<\/p>\n

I have a feeling the Women of the Resistance<\/em> doc will be more interesting than The Night Porter<\/em>. The David Lean doc might be good. Watched the Lars Tranceformer<\/em> doc back in the day and didn’t love it, but the other Element of Crime<\/em> features look intriguing.<\/p>\n

Love Cocteau’s Villa Santo Sospir<\/a><\/em>, not sure how I missed the Edgardo Cozarinsky documentary.<\/p>\n

Got the Eisenstein box and went through it all, but the Ivans<\/em> need revisiting and we really need a Nevsky<\/em> reissue with properly-recorded orchestral score.<\/p>\n

Watched everything I could find on Do The Right Thing<\/em> and read Spike’s making-of book which is even better than the audio\/video extras.<\/p>\n

Did watch the L’Avventura<\/em> doc and commentary, while trying to understand what art cinema is – an experience I’d recommend to anyone.<\/p>\n

Beastie Boys Anthology remains the most well-authored DVD I ever bought.<\/p>\n

If western civilization survives long enough I’ll probably explore the next fifty – got ten left to watch, including some (Shinoda, the Czechs) I really want to see, and I’ve already got the annoying ones out of the way (Ruling Class<\/em>, The Hidden Fortress<\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
