The Criterion Collection presents

Dec 2008 Discoveries from Eclipse

Eclipse from the Criterion Collection is all about discovering great movies that have been overshadowed or forgotten. Sometimes it’s a neglected director, a great artist swept aside by history and the vagaries of preservation and distribution, as with the mesmerizing Raymond Bernard. Other times we’re unburying gems from masters such as Ingmar Bergman and Louis Malle. But all the Eclipse films have one thing in common: they’re revelations. To help you do some discovering of your own, this month we present six of these films, from our first six Eclipse series—each one a true treasure.

"Festival" section now deleted from Criterion website. Looks like the end of this wonderful free service.

How about a French film festival before Criterion loses those StudioCanal films?
