“[I]f you pay attention to the movies they will tell you what people desire and fear. Movies are hardly ever about what they seem to be about. Look at a movie that a lot of people love, and you will find something profound, no matter how silly the film may seem.”

“Music and books are not region encoded - why should films be?”

Masters of Cinema keeping it real. 

criterioncast:

This is why I love the Masters Of Cinema so much.

KOMATTA NA!

We hoped you wouldn’t have to see this screen.

This Blu-ray is Region B encoded (Europe). Your player must be a different region.

We apologise profusely but we have been forced to encode this disc Region B at the express insistence of the film’s licensor and a global industry afraid of a level playing field.

Music and books are not region encoded - why should films be?

If you are able to locate a multi-region Blu-ray player, this disc will play okay.

We recommend that you obtain a multi-region Blu-ray player so your time isn’t wasted unnecessarily in the future.

Sorry.

Thanks to the folks at Twitch Film and The Digital Fix for alerting me to this.

It’s the “Jesus loves you” graffiti that does it for me.

“I remember, here, De Niro was deep in conversation with Scorsese - who’s out of shot.

“Often, the anxiety and tension of actually making the film registered more on Scorsese’s face. Bobby was in character pretty much all the time - something this picture captures.”

“If you read a review in Variety in the 60s, and it said: ‘This movie will appeal to the college crowd,’ you would automatically assume it was something arty or elevated or foreign. Same exact words now and it means it’s moronic garbage for beer-guzzling apes.”
Screenwriter Lem Dobbs, in this outstanding interview.

“I was called to the bathroom at the cemetery to take care of something. I walked in the bathroom, and in the middle toilet right there… somebody didn’t shit in the toilet, somebody shat on the toilet. They shat on the wall, they shat on the floor. I had to clean it up, man, but before that, for about 10 to 15 seconds man, I just stared at somebody’s shit, man. To be totally honest with you, man, it was a really, really profound moment. Cuz I was thinkin’, I’m 30 years old, and in about 10 seconds I gotta start cleaning up somebody’s shit, man.”
Mark Borchardt, American Movie
