been watching some very nice selections from this collection
of dvds. Insomnia which is brooding, creepy and quirky in a
noirish-Bergman pace. Alphaville which I have to watch again
because I missed the point (but it looks nice). Fuller's The
Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor which are campy-looking but
have this very cool 50s paperback cover story to them.
Peeping Tom which outdoes Hitchcock. M which is proto-film
noir, and outdoes a lot of the trad noir stuff. And
Kurosawa's High and Low which has been discussed here (it
could have been shorter).
The criterion collection is pricey, but they have a diverse
small collection at http://www.criterionco.com
