The Turin Horse (2011) dir. Béla Tarr
This is not some cataclysm, brought about with innocent so-called human aid. On the contrary…it’s about man’s own judgment, his judgment over his own self, which of course God has a hand in, or, dare I say it, takes part in.

UNDER THE COVERS: #615 THE GOLD RUSH (dir. Charlie Chaplin) 1925 / 1942
“The picture that I want to be remembered by.” - Charlie Chaplin
remember that time i was putting this post together and i googled “The Gold Rush quotes?” that was very, very stupid. you know what’s not very, very stupid is Criterion’s new dvd / blu-ray of this Chaplin masterpiece, their third Chaplin release thus far, and further proof that the finest home video boutique in all the world goes BIG with The Little Tramp. their Chaplin sets are so comprehensive and lovingly assembled that they make their other titles look like regular studio releases, and i’m delighted (if massively unsurprised) to tell you that The Gold Rush keeps that streak alive. it’s beautiful, must-own stuff, and i can’t wait to see which of his films they’re going to put out next (The Kid? City Lights? tune in next year).
The Criterion Collection will release The Gold Rush on DVD & Blu-ray on June 12, 2012.
