My new Blu-ray slipcover art for Marc Allégret’s LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVER (1955), the first screen adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s controversial novel 🖤. It was banned in NY for "promoting adultery," until the Supreme Court overturned the ruling in 1959. @icarusfilms.bsky.social @vinsyn.bsky.social

My review of the second film in Mosco Boucault's "Police Investigations Series," 1999's A Murder in Abidjan, features some of the worst policing imaginable. Not easy to watch, but recommended, especially in the context of the other two films. @seattlecritics.bsky.social @icarusfilms.bsky.social

A Murder in Abidjan (Un Crime à Abidjan)

The documentary begins with a warning about scenes of violence, and it's fully earned. Though Supt. Kouassi eventually solves the case, it's hard not to feel for the killer who feels genuine remorse.
