One of my absolute favorites - a film that remains as relevant today as the day it was made
Watch Mathieu Kassovitz's landmark of contemporary French cinema LA HAINE (1995) starring Vincent Cassel (BOTD). A gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France.

Don't miss Robert Altman's dreamlike masterpiece before it leaves the Criterion Channel next month!
Sissy Spacek answers every question we have about starring in Robert Altman’s ‘3 Women.’ The Oscar winner broke a bone on set and may or may not have thrown up after chugging a beer, but she also shared a special bond with Shelley Duvall.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch our NATIVE NONFICTION program! Since the birth of cinema, Indigenous people have been staple subjects of documentary—until a new generation of Native American filmmakers emerged in the 1980s who insisted on becoming its authors too.

I'm delighted that Michael invited me to do this with him. His new book Sick & Dirty is so sharp and smart, and every one of these eight movies will hold your attention--some because of the very elements that make them profoundly screwed-up, and some because they're wonderful.
