There are many things one could say about the Criterion Collection.
One could say that they are the single most important home entertainment distributors working today. That same person could also say that no one does cinematic restoration better than them. However, I think the Collection is a mass of film that is far more important and influential than on just a simple technical level.
To me, the collection is all about discovery; true, blue cinematic discovery.
Science Is Fiction, the collection’s release of 23 films from the famous filmmaker Jean Painleve is the epitome of this feeling.
At the start of the just completed Barnes And Nobles 50% off Criterion sale, I had a few films on my list to pick up. First, there was of course my favorite film of all time, Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless, a film that for some reason, always ended up out of my hands.
