The Black and the Green (St. Clair Bourne, 1983) on @criterionchannl.bsky.social was a great followup to Union. It's about Black activists going from America to Belfast to express their solidarity with the Irish revolutionaries during the Troubles. A beautiful portrait of solidarity as a practice.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch HOUSEHOLD SAINTS (1993) now playing in our Directed by Nancy Savoca collection!
Based on the novel by Francine Prose, Savoca’s wonderfully warm chronicle of a spirited Italian American New York family gracefully balances humor, tragedy, and pathos.

I know some were lukewarm on Union (Brett Story & Stephen Maing, 2024), but IMO it's brilliant. By laser-focusing on Amazon, it manages to be pro-union without indulging in any sentimental nostalgia. So great to see today's unions treated as aesthetically interesting and politically relevant topics.

Lily Taylor and Michael Imperioli were a couple in real life during this period; both intensely committed to their craft but also before big career breakthroughs so there's still something of an unpolished-gem quality evident in their performances ...

SABLE (2025) • Now playing on the Criterion Channel.

What to Watch: Herzog on Criterion, "Sentimental Value"
What Not to Watch: "Nuremberg." (Well, if you must.)

I just watched #Obsession (1949, Edward Dmytryk) on @criterionchannl.bsky.social and it was one of the best new-to-me classic films I've seen in 2025. An excellent story, great performances and very dynamic pacing. I LOVED IT.

If you haven’t seen it, Werner Herzog gets the best out of Nic Cage in the way he once did with Klaus Kinski — w/ Cage playing the drug addicted degenerate cop in NOLA right around the Hurricane Katrina fallout. It’s so insane that you end up actually rooting for him.
