Criterion Collection Sale
I heard about the 50% off sale, but I just don't have any money! A total bummer. Some of the ones I'm itching to own: Il Posto, Hoop Dreams, Chungking Express Blu-Ray, The 400 Blows, The Bicycle Thieves, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Shimizu box set, and a bunch of Ozu films. And basically anything from East Asia--I want it.

Actually, I haven't seen any Ozu films. At the time of that post, Criterion had just released two-movie box set and I was interested in it based on the reviews I had read. I hoped I'd buy it as my introductory movies into his works. But I decided instead to continue with 1940s Powell & Pressburger before I move on to another director, so he's taken a backseat until after I acquire Contraband, One of Our Aircraft is Missing, and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp as that'd complete 1940s P&P. Then I'd move on to Ozu (hopefully by July and the next 50% off sale) and pick up the two-film set as well as the two Eclipse sets before moving on to some of the singular titles Criterion's released, like Tokyo Story and Late Spring.bringtytlaback wrote:Have you seen I Was Born, But... ? Right now I'm debating whether or not to get that Silent Ozu Eclipse set, mostly for I Was Born, But..., which I haven't seen.
Is it on the same level as The Only Son, or perhaps better?

I still haven't been able to take advantage of this sale, but I'm gonna try this year!
