    But I’ll do it again. If it’s not the greatest app geared towards cinephiles, it certainly isn’t because it doesn’t perform the valuable service of reaching beyond its own valuable collection of titles by some of cinema’s greatest practitioners. Every month the top heading usually is a profile of an auteur not already included in the library. This month profiling Zhangke’s new film out in cinemas, Caught By The Tides. This is representative of a perpetual forward looking outlook which when paired with its retrospective mission makes the app a central forum for appreciation and discussion of all things cinema. It also helps having several titles included, not just the films themselves, but the panoply of extras found on its host’s release disc. This is an invaluable spot for those well versed in film literacy and for those curious and just beginning the journey.

    Criterion helps me fill the gaps in my film history knowledge. And it’s helping me learn Italian. Thanks, Criterion, for providing this rich resource!

    Here is the most fascinating collection of World Cinema Classics in consistently good quality that you’ll find on the web. You may not like everything on the channel but the library is deep and diverse enough to please the most particular of movie palettes. Deeper explorations of the site will more than likely reveal surprises and/or hidden gems that will amuse and intrigue. Cheers!
