There is a distinct ’70s sheen to the Criterion Channel’s September lineup: a decades-spanning Robert Altman retrospective with everything from Nashville and The Long Goodbye to That Cold Day in the Park and The Company; a highlight of the decade’s best thrillers (Chinatown and Night Moves, of course, but don’t sleep on Winter Kills); and a Klute–Parallax–President Alan J. Pakula set all mark the month, while even “Nunsploitation” program primarily stems from the decade. (Abel Ferrara’s Ms. 45 certainly feels 1970s, but actually opened in 1981.) Retrospectives are rounded out by a Jodie Foster retrospective that gives one chance to reconsider The Beaver.
Criterion Editions include Grey Gardens, The Wind Will Carry Us, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Sorcerer, Altman’s Tanner ’88, and Olivier Assayas’ Carlos, a film that would probably rank higher in estimations of his career were it more regularly streaming. Restorations of Undercurrent, Fresh Kill, and City of Ghosts make their debut, while you can say you watched The Crow (a new addition to ’90s Soundtracks) in a high-class way. Last but not least, Satoshi Kon’s Millennium Actress will pair well with the Channel’s numerous Setsuko Hara films.
