La Bête Humaine

Jean Renoir shot it in 1938, just as Hitler's troops were occupying the Sudetenland and Neville Chamberlain and his band of appeasers were bending Europe's back to the whims of the Third Reich. So, you'll forgive him for making such a dark picture.

F for Fake

A one-of-a-kind essay centered on art forgery and hoaxes that is built from spare parts, questionable coverage, obvious overdubbing, and outright bluff, 'F for Fake' is a masterwork most often hailed for its hijacking of documentary form to tease cinema's capacity for making truth out of bullshit

Kagemusha

All of the director's classic themes and techniques are here, but 'Kagemusha' also ushered in a new period in Kurosawa's style, one influenced by the countless hours, months, and years he spent painting imagined scenes from the movie as he waited dejectedly for funding to come in

The Devil & Daniel Webster

Numbers 215 and 218 of the Criterion Collection DVD series were more celebrated recently, Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water and Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Cercle Rouge, yet the unheralded No. 214 was the true devil in the woodpile.
