After some pretty anemic weeks, this week at least has more than a few intriguing titles ready for purchase. The top two titles are likely Robert Eggers’ instantly-canonized The Witch, which I haven’t seen but which I’ve heard is a delightful look at 17th century farmers learning that the trick to living deliciously is in their own backyard, and Kaneto Shindo’s dialogue-free epic The Naked Island, which Criterion has packaged with an audio commentary from the director and an appreciation by none other than Sauncho Smilax himself, Benicio del Toro, among other features. Aside from that, the Warner Archive Collection brings one of Bogie and Bacall’s collaborations to Blu-Ray with its release of Dark Passage, the Cohen Film Collection brings several Maurice Pialat films to Blu-Ray in the States, and Kino puts out the Terry Southern-penned. Giuseppe Rotunno-shot oddity Candy (whose score Soderbergh stole from for the closing scene of Ocean’s Twelve). Add some unsung film noir gems from Flicker Alley and the comedy Dirty Grandpa and what I presume is its depressing follow-up, Dementia, and you have a week that at least isn’t a snooze.
