PARAJANOV, Sergei (Ukraine) Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors [1965] Spine #1336 4K A towering achievement of world cinema, Sergei Parajanov’s modernist landmark fuses folkloric traditions, animistic mysticism, and hallucinatory visual invention. Adapted from a 1911 novella by Ukrainian writer Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors follows Ivanko (Ivan Mykolaichuk), a young Hutsul peasant who experiences both the depths of grief and glimmers of hope as he attempts to move beyond his first love, Marichka (an ethereal Larysa Kadochnykova). Steeped in the earthy atmosphere of the Carpathian Mountains, and featuring kinetic, radiantly colorful cinematography by Yuri Illienko and a collagelike experimental soundtrack, Parajanov’s film is a singularly mythopoeic work of art. 96 minutes Monaural Color/Black and White in Ukrainian 1:37:1 Criterion Release 2026 Director/Writer Sergei Parajanov  was 41 when he directed Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors .

COPPOLA, Sofia (United States) Marie Antoinette [2006] Spine #1335 4K Sofia Coppola brings a candy-colored palette, a dreamy synth-pop soundtrack, and Converse high-tops to eighteenth-century Versailles for this exuberantly subversive, extravagantly stylized anti-biopic of one of history’s most infamous (and perhaps misunderstood) figures. Kirsten Dunst portrays Marie Antoinette as a rebellious teenage princess, who marries the awkward young dauphin of France (Jason Schwartzman), soon to be crowned King Louis XVI. Feeling isolated in a royal court rife with scandal and intrigue, Marie Antoinette defies both royalty and commoner by living like a rock star—which can work for only so long. 123 minutes 5.1 Surround Color 1:85:1 Criterion Release 2026 Director/Writer Sofia Coppola  was 35 when she wrote and directed Marie Antoinette . Based on the book Marie Antoinette: The Journey  by Antonia Fraser . Other Coppola films in the Collection: #920: The Virgin Suicides (1999) The Fil...

LYNCH, David (United States) Wild at Heart [1990] Spine #1334 4K “This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.” With this torrid adaptation of the novel by Barry Gifford, David Lynch pushed his vision of nightmarish Americana into new realms of delirious excess and feverish romanticism. Burning with libidinal abandon, Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage are Lula and Sailor, outlaw lovers whose reckless passion sends them on the run through a menacing South, where their dream of freedom collides with a vortex of violence and depravity. Blending all-American iconography ranging from Elvis to The Wizard of Oz into a twisted southern-gothic soap opera, and featuring memorable supporting turns by Willem Dafoe and Diane Ladd, the film conjures a dark dreamscape of danger, desire, and fantasy that stands as perhaps the most transcendently perverse love story of the 1990s. 125 minutes 2.0 Surround Color 2:39:1 Criterion Release 2026 Director/Writer David Lynch  was 44 when he wrote and di...
