dir. David Cronenberg

S-Tier

Kino Lorber S-Tier 4K from March 2022 with a Dolby Vision master approved by cinematographer Peter Suschitzky. Collectors pair this with A History of Violence as the Cronenberg/Mortensen double feature. The bathhouse fight scene is the sequence everyone tests their display with.

Read My Lips(2001)

7.1/10

dir. Jacques Audiard

S-Tier

Early Audiard, before A Prophet and Dheepan made him a festival fixture. Criterion picked it up alongside Beat That My Heart Skipped, and collectors who know those later films are backfilling. Thin discussion but the people who have seen it tend to recommend it as an underrated entry in his catalog.

dir. Mathieu Kassovitz
