Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)

  • Criterion Collection, Lynch, David
  • 1992, David Lynch, USA
  • Leave a comment

David Lynch tries too hard to be David Lynch in this atmospherically dense but superficial mystery-horror film.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Blue Velvet (1986)

  • Criterion Collection, Lynch, David
  • 1986, David Lynch, USA
  • 9 Comments

Lynch’s masterpiece is a surreal experience complete with sensational performances, a disturbing film that portrays the moral rot that comes with the American Dream.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Matter of Life and Death, A (1946)

  • Criterion Collection, Powell, Michael, Pressburger, Emeric
  • 1946, Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell, UK

An inventive treatise on living and dying, and most important of all, of loving, as a legal trial in heaven decides the fate of an airman who is literally caught in an unprecedented life-and-death scenario. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Through the Olive Trees (1994)

  • Criterion Collection, Kiarostami, Abbas
  • 1994, Abbas Kiarostami, Iran
  • 1 Comment

Kiarostami closes his wondrous ‘Koker’ trilogy with an even more multi-layered, meta-cinematic experiment in the guise of a love story.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Red Shoes, The (1948)

  • Criterion Collection, Powell, Michael, Pressburger, Emeric
  • 1948, Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell, UK

A ballet dancer is torn between romance and ambition in one of Powell and Pressburger’s most glorious and ravishing Technicolor triumphs.

Elephant Man, The (1980)

  • Criterion Collection, Lynch, David
  • 1980, David Lynch, USA
  • 2 Comments

This could be Lynch’s most enduring film – an emotionally-resonating and psychologically-rich work about discrimination and compassion based on the true story of a horribly disfigured man.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Outstanding feature debut by David Lynch, this is as nightmarish and surreal as they come.

Ran (1985)

  • Criterion Collection, Kurosawa, Akira
  • 1985, Akira Kurosawa, Japan
  • 3 Comments

Among the masterpieces of Kurosawa, this one sits confidently at the very, very top, and is quite rightly one of the greatest films ever made of all-time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Hiroshima mon amour (1959)

  • Criterion Collection, Resnais, Alain
  • 1959, Alain Resnais, France, Japan
  • 3 Comments

My favourite feature debut from the French New Wave—an extraordinary meditation on trauma, memory and love as Resnais merges the historical, geographical and the personal in an intelligent and sensuous way.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.
