Criterion have bucked the trend of December being a "quiet" month, releasing their second "Trilogy of Life" box set in as many months, the original film adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley, Christopher Nolan's first feature, and a long-awaited Blu-grade of Brazil.
Today's Criterion newsletter "wacky drawing" contains three "caught C's". It's been rumored for some time that they would release Godfrey Reggio's three "Qatsi" movies (Koyaanisqatsi, Powwaqqatsi, and Naqoyqatsi), which have no conventional plot, and instead feature gorgeous photography centered around broad themes. Look the movies up, I'm at a loss to describe them (as I think many would be).
Just arrived in New York a few hours ago. Love this town.
