A couple months after spotlighting the world’s greatest actress, the Criterion Channel have taken a logical next step towards America’s greatest actress. May (or: next week) will bring an eleven-film celebration of Jennifer Jason Leigh, highlights including Verhoeven’s Flesh + Blood, Miami Blues, Alan Rudolph’s Mrs. Parker, her directorial debut The Anniversary Party, and Synecdoche, New York, and a special introduction from Leigh. Another actor’s showcase localizes directorial collaborations: Jimmy Stewart’s time with Anthony Mann, an eight-title series boasting the likes of Winchester ’73 and The Man from Laramie. Two more: a survey of ’80s Asian-American cinema (Chan Is Missing being the best-known) and 14 movies by Seijun Suzuki.
That would be enough for one month (or two), but No Bears and Cette maison will have their streaming premieres, while Criterion Editions offers the Infernal Affairs trilogy (plus its packed set), Days of Heaven, and the aforementioned Chan Is Missing.

Pacific Arts Movement (presenters of the San Diego Asian Film Festival) has curated a special collection of films that will celebrate the elders in the Asian community during its 10th Spring Showcase. The presentation includes three films: “The Wash“, “Cosmopolitan“, and “And Thereafter”. The films are available to stream online from April 23 through May 2 nationwide. Never before released on DVD, “The Wash” and “Cosmopolitan” (converted from Laser Disk technology) — a special feature of the presentation that remembers what life used to be like, especially for the very elders that this presentation aims to celebrate. With films from 3 different countries, “Songs Our Elders Taught Me” will be an exploration of the unique stories of love, history, and culture of the elders in our community and provide a space for these stories to be told.
