MILLS, Mike (United States) I'll Remind You of Everything: The Films of Mike Mills [2010-21] Spine #1322 4K The legacies we inherit, and the ones we pass on, form the heart of writer-director Mike Mills’s family portraits, inspired by his own experience. Both personal and panoramic, the films collected here— Beginners, 20th Century Women,  and  C’mon C’mon —set their stories of parents and children against the backdrop of a changing America, from the 1970s to the present. Anchored by performances of depth and wit from the likes of Christopher Plummer, Ewan McGregor, Annette Bening, Greta Gerwig, Elle Fanning, Joaquin Phoenix, and Gaby Hoffmann, these three films compose a mosaic of Mills’s own life, from boyhood to fatherhood, and of the people, places, music, and memories that marked him along the way. #1322a: Beginners (2010) #1322b: 20th Century Women (2016) #1322c: C'mon C'mon (2021) Criterion Release 2026 By Director By Spine #

OSHIMA, Nagisa (Japan) Cruel Story of Youth [1960] Spine #1321 4K A scorching tale of toxic love in a toxic world, Nagisa Oshima’s second feature film marked the artistic breakthrough of one of the most radical voices in the history of Japanese cinema. Caught in the dog-eat-dog crucible of postwar Tokyo, teenage lovers Makoto (Miyuki Kuwano) and Kiyoshi (Yusuke Kawazu) turn to a life of crime, entrapping lecherous middle-aged men in order to extort their money. But how long can the wayward youths outrun their fate? Bursting with vivid color, this visually scintillating, furiously nihilistic film howls with rage at a society in which everything—love, sex, and youthful idealism—has been corrupted. 97 minutes Monaural Color in Japanese 2:39:1 Criterion Release 2026 Director/Writer Nagisa Oshima  was 28 when he wrote and directed Cruel Story of Youth .

JORDAN, Neil (United Kingdom) The Crying Game [1992] Spine #1320 4K Neil Jordan’s emotionally stunning international sensation overcame the barriers between independent and mainstream cinema to become one of the defining films of the 1990s. Set against the turbulence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland,  The Crying Game  is a puzzle box of a film, examining complex questions of loyalty, desire, and identity as it traces the fraught relationship developing between two wounded souls: Fergus (Stephen Rea), a former Irish Republican Army member tormented by guilt, and Dil (the revelatory Jaye Davidson), the enigmatic girlfriend of the hostage whose death haunts him. As the film shape-shifts from political drama to noir-tinged thriller to bruising romance, what emerges is something beyond genre: a profound and indelible vision of human connection across all boundaries. 112 minutes 2.0 Surround Color 2:39:1 Criterion Release 2026 Director/Writer Neil Jordan  was 42 when he wro...

RITT, Martin (United States) Hud [1963] Spine #1319 4K A family’s downfall becomes a stark elegy for the ideals of the American frontier in this quietly subversive reimagining of western myths. In the fourth of his six collaborations with the progressive director Martin Ritt, Paul Newman created his darkest role yet as Hud Bannon, a charismatic but ruthlessly unprincipled rancher. Hud’s ambition to seize control of an ailing cattle business from his tradition-bound father (Melvyn Douglas) drives the family—including his worshipful nephew (Brandon de Wilde) and worldly-wise housekeeper (Patricia Neal)—toward collapse. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Actress (Neal), Supporting Actor (Douglas), and Cinematography—courtesy of James Wong Howe, whose austere black-and-white lensing lends psychological dimension to the desolate western vistas— Hud  daringly rewrites the image of the heroic cowboy for a disillusioned generation. 112 minutes Monaural Black and White 2:35:1 Criterion Rele...

SCORSESE, Martin (United States) Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore [1974] Spine #1318 4K Martin Scorsese infuses the classic maternal melodrama with the brash spirit of the New Hollywood in this zeitgeist-capturing feminist tale of a woman finding her footing in a patriarchal world. An Academy Award–winning Ellen Burstyn shines as Alice Hyatt, a newly widowed mother who, with her precocious son, Tommy, takes off across the Southwest to pursue her dream of becoming a singer, along the way learning to live on her own terms, even as a new romance with a rugged rancher (Kris Kristofferson) tests her growing independence. Boasting vivid supporting turns by Diane Ladd, Harvey Keitel, and Jodie Foster, this irrepressible look at starting anew overflows with warmth and humanity from each bustling frame. 112 minutes Monaural Color 1:85:1 Criterion Release 2026 Director/Writer Martin Scorsese  was 32 when he directed Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore .

PANAHI, Jafar (Iran) It Was Just an Accident [2025] Spine #1317 4K In this Palme d’Or winner from the Iranian auteur Jafar Panahi, a chance encounter sets in motion an urgent moral thriller. When a stranded driver (Ebrahim Azizi) walks into his shop, mechanic Vahid (Vahid Mobasseri) believes he has come face-to-face with Eghbal, a notoriously brutal guard who tortured him during his political imprisonment. Gathering a band of fellow former inmates and other allies, Vahid sets out to take justice into his own hands—but does he have the right man? Shot in secret after Panahi’s longtime ban from filmmaking in his home country,  It Was Just an Accident  is a tour de force of sustained tension and mordant humor, provocatively shifting perspectives to examine vital questions of trauma and revenge. 103 minutes 5.1 Surround Color 1:85:1 Criterion Release 2026 Director/Writer Jafar Panahi  was 65 when he wrote and directed It Was Just an Accident .

WATERS, John (United States) Desperate Living [1977] Spine #1316 4K Following the unrepentant outrageousness of  Pink Flamingos  and  Female Trouble ,  director John Waters brought his notorious trash trilogy to a fittingly twisted close with this antifascist fairy tale. After hysterical housewife Peggy Gravel (Mink Stole) murders her husband with the help of her fed-up housekeeper (Jean Hill), the newfound “sisters in crime” escape to the bizarro shantytown of Mortville, a depraved penal colony presided over by a despotic queen (Edith Massey) whose tyranny pushes her subjects to shocking revolt. Deviant cops, death by dog food, DIY surgery—Waters unleashes all this and more in an at once relentlessly warped and oddly moral vision of queer rebellion. 90 minutes Monaural Color 1:66:1 Criterion Release 2026 Director/Writer John Waters  was 31 when he wrote and directed Desperate Living .
