Criterion Corner
Masculin féminin
Jean-Luc Godard’s 1966 classic has a 4K digital restoration approved by cinematographer Willy Kurant. The film stars French New Wave icon Jean-Pierre Léaud as a man that is attempting to forge a relationship with pop star Madeleine (Chantal Goya). Criterion says, “Through their tempestuous affair, Godard fashions a candid and wildly funny free-form examination of youth culture in pulsating 1960s Paris, mixing satire and tragedy as only Godard can.”
Irma Vep
Another French film, this is Oliver Assayas’ breakthrough film starring Maggie Cheung as a movie star that arrives in Paris to star in a remake of Les vampires. Criterion says, “What she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash, romantic attractions simmer, and an obsessive director (a cannily cast Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himself to the brink to realize his vision.”

Authored by the late Anthony Bourdain and Laurie Woolever, this book on his travels is an essential travel guide.
