I have no qualms with most of the films Criterion releases, esp. with the great job of restorations, etc……My gripe is with the films they choose at times; I mean, come ’on: Magnificent Obsession?!! The Man who fell to Earth?!!! and Crusoe on Mars???!?!!? So hate me if you want, but these & a few other titles do not deserve the “Criterion” treatment!!
I;m wondering why a film such as “Bitter Rice” one of the first and most important neorealist Italian films, gets no restoration or acknowledgement!!! I know we all have our favorites, and that no one would be satisfied with every choice Criterion makes, but some due should be given to this era of film making!!!
Now, how about CRITERION issued films you just don't like!! over 3 years ago
