Criterion Film Club Week 303 Poll: New Shit

I would typically want to eat a bag of nails over watching new movies, so it’s time to practice exposure therapy and get into it. I’ll go with films on the channel now I have the most interest in seeing

Magellan - because the combo of Lav Diaz plus Gael Garcia Bernal has to be good

Resurrection - Bi Gan. That’s the whole reason.

Megadoc - Mike Figgis pointing a camera at the eccentric genius of Coppola

Cloud - Kurosawa 2 back on his game

Caught by the Tides - our boy Jia Zhang-ke
