Next month’s lineup on the Criterion Channel has been unveiled, featuring a pair of Paul Thomas Anderson films (Boogie Nights and Phantom Threads), The Secret Agent director Kleber Mendoça Filho’s Neighboring Sounds and Bacurau, Albert Brooks’ Lost in America, Brian De Palma’s Carlito’s Way, series dedicated to Ben Whishaw, Atom Egoyan, Terence Stamp, Nordic noir, Dorothy Parker, Hlynur Pálmason, and Maya Daren, and more.
Also among the lineup is the streaming premiere of one of our favorite debuts of the year, Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire. David Katz said in his review from NYFF, “Assembled from deep research, assistance from academic specialists, and consultations with the Césaire offspring, Hunt-Ehrlich’s bold formal schema still prevents us from fully absorbing these efforts: “feeling” does outpace our full understanding. The vibrant Caribbean music and torch songs on the soundtrack make plain it’s a ballad, not a pedagogic Lecture of Suzanne Césaire.”
