... you can learn from:
Birth (2004)
Anna: What happened to me was not my fault. There's no way I could have behaved any differently, you now... What I did wasn't my fault. What happended to me wasn't my fault, and I can't be held accountable for it. There is no way I could ever have said to him 'Go away'. I couldn't do it... It was a mistake. And... I'm sorry. But I want to be with you. I want to be with you. Yes, I do. And I want to get married, and... I wanna have a good life, and I wanna be happy. That's all I want - peace.
A day we've been looking forward to for a decade at least has finally arrived -- after years of being only available on a shitty out-of-print DVD Jonathan Glazer's 2004 masterpiece in discomfort Birth has gotten the Criterion treatment! In 4K no less! Pick up your copy right here -- like every single Glazer movie there is (yes, every single one) this is not a movie to be missed. And NOW if they could just release Alexandre Desplat's astonishing score onto vinyl I'll be satisfied! Temporarily anyway! Related: have I mentioned here that I started a thread on Bluesky for movies I'm dying to get released on upgraded physical media? Click below to see what I've whined about so far if that's your thing:
Think I'm going to start a thread specifically for sporadic bitching about movies I need released on updated physical media already, like yesterday, dammit. Seen here are four standards - Apartment Zero, Chuck & Buck, Soldier of Orange, and of course the king of this, Ken Russell's The Devils

As I read this, I immediately put on the Birth soundtrack like I was gasping for breath. Needed it.
Hart Bochner is at his prime hotness in Apartment Zero.
Even though they're not movies, I'd like to chime in on stuff that needs re-releasing...I'm a big fan of Faye Weldon's books. Unfortunately, there were never American releases for The Life and Loves of a She-Devil or The Cloning of Joanna May. And now if you want new unopened DVD sets it'll cost you around $100. Yes, there are certain questionable retails I can get a mp4 from because they're in the "public domain" along with their other products. Yeah, not going there. Also, the copies I personally recorded from television are better than YouTube's versions. Oh, and get this...I have THREE different versions! Because each year it was rebroadcasted on A&E, for some reason, scenes were cut/added each time!
