    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in 4k/UHD Blu-ray

    The technology is interesting but I need a hardwired version without the wireless electrosmog around my head for hours and hours. I need a HDMI input.

    A Few Words About While we wait for a few words about… Killers Of The Flower Moon - in 4k UHD

    Shades of "Notorious" and "Paris Texas". But no Ingrid Bergman, rather... Olivia de Havilland.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Apu Trilogy -- in 4k UHD

    Which is a shame. There are many worthy Indian films that are not Western style art house cinema and not part of a Western critics canon but deserve proper restoration and presentation. What is available from Indian commercial sources is usually digitally overprocessed remasterings of classic...

    Press Release Criterion Press Release: The Apu Trilogy (4k UHD Combo)

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Tár -- in 4k UHD

    I got goose bumps at that moment. 99.xx % of films you start watching are by the book, variant 3a, subsection 12... Tar is not. It references greats of the past for sure, but does its own thing.

    For me the film of the year. Full of great moments. The key scene, if there is one? Lydia watching the Lennie tape.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Blue White Red - Three Colors -- in 4k UHD
