Five films to buy in the Kino Lorber 2024 Summer Sale
|
Hello Reader, 'Tis the season for sales on physical media. Criterion has a 35% off sale in the US (Barnes & Noble) and Canada (Unobstructed View) -- more on that before it ends next Friday (hopefully!). And Kino Lorber, one of my favourite indie labels (with some impeccable taste, having released Agnieszka Holland's Green Border last month) also has a sale on about 700 films amongst their massive library until Monday July 21. The sale is available in the US on Kino's website and in Canada at Unobstructed View. I wasn't paid to write this; it's just what I'd recommend to a friend if asked. (Full disclosure: I was given screeners for a couple of these, but have excluded other films I also got screeners for). So here are five-ish films -- I've cheated in the fine print -- that are worth watching twice. They're fresh-ish off the festival circuit (mostly in the last decade) and many might be blind buys for you. More on that in the piece. Some aren't available on VOD. Some have must-see special features. And some are just hard to watch if you don't own them (but worth it!). Find out what to buy in the sale with my recommendations... Happy hunting! Alex

Hello Reader, This week on the podcast, I’m digging into Celine Song’s new film, Materialists, which asks: Is love enough when money is tight? It’s got plenty going for it (that cast! that blocking!), but also tiptoes around the class and money dynamics it sets up. In this episode, I get into where it works, where it falls short, and how it stacks up next to films and shows that explore similar territory (Gossip Girl, Mansfield Park, and more). A few spoilers ahead, especially when I get into...
Hello Reader, What do a British political thriller, an Indigenous Canadian documentary, and a queer South African drama have in common? Honestly… I wasn’t sure at first either. I programmed them inside Reel Ruminators because they were different: crossing genres, continents, and perspectives. And yet, in hindsight, I realized they were all circling some of the same big questions. Watching and thinking about one film changed how I watched and thought about the others. And I have an inkling...
Hello Reader, This June, you’re invited to watch a story about identity and family — where politics show up in relationships, not speeches. Nothing traumatic happens on screen. Instead, you get duty and ritual, love and relationships — and the kind of arguments you only have with the people who know you best. Why I chose it: It’s short — just 1h36m, easy to fit in It’s feel-good and thoughtful — goes down easy, stays with you It’s not streamable in North America — but the director has...
