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
