The September lineup on the Criterion Channel features works by Robert Altman, Olivier Assayas, Satoshi Kon, and Jodie Foster.
The September lineup on the Criterion Channel features a notable '70s vibe, highlighted by a comprehensive Robert Altman retrospective showcasing films such as Nashville and The Long Goodbye, alongside titles like That Cold Day in the Park and The Company. The selection also spotlights some of the decade's finest thrillers, including Chinatown and Night Moves, as well as recommending Winter Kills. A collection of Alan J. Pakula's films, including Klute and The Parallax View, also marks the month, while the "Nunsploitation" program has its roots in this era. Although Abel Ferrara's Ms. 45 has a distinctly '70s feel, it actually premiered in 1981. The retrospectives are further complemented by a Jodie Foster showcase, providing an opportunity to reevaluate The Beaver.
Criterion Editions include titles like Grey Gardens, The Wind Will Carry Us, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Sorcerer, Altman’s Tanner ’88, and Olivier Assayas’ Carlos, a film that would likely be held in higher regard if it were featured more frequently on streaming platforms. Notable restorations such as Undercurrent, Fresh Kill, and City of Ghosts are making their debut, while you can experience The Crow, a new addition to the '90s Soundtracks, in a more refined way. Lastly, Satoshi Kon’s Millennium Actress pairs nicely with the Channel's many films starring Setsuko Hara.
