Letterboxd Visits the Criterion Closet

[@barnziee]

A dude in a backwards hat talking about Uncut Gems is a very Uncut Gems thing to happen

Harakiri (1962) by Masaki Kobayashi is my favorite movie ever ! Absolutely stunning, Top Notch in acting,cinematography,storytelling.The greatest and most powerful film for me.

Toronto has its own version of the Criterion Closet, Bay Bloor Video, one of the video stores in the city. The shelves literally looks identical, with a good selection of Criterion on its shelves, including some discontunued titles.

Harakiri (1962) by masaki kobayashi is my samurai movie, best cinematography, and the criterion collection is a best film. Emanuel

[@kit-on5ez]

I noticed the Kiwi lady, Gemma (?) was holding the Japanese film directed by the great Yasujiro Ozu called "Ohayo" (Good Morning) near the end there but didn't mention it. It's one of my favourite films ever, I highly recommend it to everyone. Criterion are a real blessing, I've bought so many of their collections and films that are almost impossible to find elsewhere, Thanks Criterion and Letterboxd too for spreading the word about all those underrated classics. Love ya's !

It would be cool if on a Friday over beers you guys talked about adding shared lists to letterboxed that multiple people can contribute to. Doubt it would be that hard to implement as that feature exists in other apps

[@gracehopkins3113]

I watched Uncut Gems around seven times when it came out and I never need to watch it again. I was enamoured with the Safdie brothers back then, so I knew about the movie two years before seeing it and watched a pirated screener, then saw it in theaters, then on streaming a few times each. I think I'll watch it again in 20 years or something.

She pulled that Beauty and the Beast -no.6, from all the way up at the top left shelf, with no. 13 Silence of the Lambs sticking out just after it. So, the closet must be set up by spine number, starting at top left.

1:54 Uncut Gems should have been advertised as a comedy a la a Cohen brothers farce. And that's not a slight to Uncut Gems, I think it's a brilliant film, but it's clearly also a comedy and not accidentally so. I find Rick and Morty uncomfortable, I find Curb Your Enthusiasm uncomfortable, so how is it that Uncut Gems makes people who like this other stuff so distraught?

That was honestly a bit cringy… The main reason many of us watch Criterion Closet videos is to hear experienced film experts and industry professionals select films and talk about why they are special… and this video was just some employees picking movies off a list and had so little actual wisdom, insights, or experience to share. No wonder this channel has no followers.

[@nosae4385]

then rewatch those videos man, it's that simple. These people are from Letterboxd, so it's obvious that some of their picks will be based on their app. You're the one who's cringe and sounds jealous lmao
