THE SQUID AND THE WHALE

“A small miracle.” —David Denby, The New Yorker

“Tender, cruel, and very funny.” —J. Hoberman, Village Voice

With excruciating honesty, The Squid and the Whale

chronicles the experiences of two young brothers

growing up in 1980s Park Slope, Brooklyn, as

they navigate the jagged contours of the divorce

of their parents, both writers. The acclaimed

third feature by NOAH BAUMBACH (Kicking

and Screaming, Frances Ha) marked a critical

development for the filmmaker as he turned toward

an increasingly personal style—a move that garnered

him an Academy Award nomination for best original

screenplay. Shot in Super 16 mm and featuring a

quartet of nuanced, understated performances from

JEFF DANIELS (Something Wild), LAURA LINNEY

(Mystic River), JESSE EISENBERG (The Social

Network), and OWEN KLINE, this comic and

poignant drama, peppered with autobiographical

elements, deftly captures the heartache and

confusion of a fracturing family.

The Cult Classic, Six-Film Series Based on the Internationally Best-Selling Japanese Manga Comics in New 2K Restorations!

THE CRITERION COLLECTION PRESENTS

LONE WOLF AND CUB

“Unforgettable viewing.” —Taste of Cinema

“Absolutely wild . . . Loads of intense violence

and bloodshed.” —Toho Kingdom

Based on the best-selling manga series, the

six intensely kinetic Lone Wolf and Cub films

elevated chanbara to bloody, new heights. The

shogun’s executioner, Itto Ogami (TOMISABURO

WAKAYAMA), takes to wandering the countryside

as an assassin—along with his infant son Daigoro

(AKIHIRO TOMIKAWA) and an infinitely weaponized

perambulator—helping those he encounters while

seeking vengeance for his murdered wife. Delivering

stylish thrills and a body count that defies belief,

Lone Wolf and Cub is beloved for its brilliantly

choreographed and unbelievably violent action

sequences as well as for its tender depiction of the

bonds between parent and child.

ONE-EYED JACKS

“Brando proves as tantalizing a director as he is

an actor.” —Judith Crist

“Extraordinary . . . As if it had been jointly directed

by John Huston and Raoul Walsh.” —Bosley Crowther, The New York Times

A western like no other, One-Eyed Jacks combines the mythological scope of that most American of film genres with the searing naturalism of a performance by MARLON BRANDO (On the Waterfront, The Fugitive

Kind), all suffused with Freudian overtones and male anxiety. In his only directing stint, Brando captures the rugged landscapes of California’s Central Coast and Mexico’s Sonoran Desert in gorgeous widescreen, Technicolor images, and elicits from his fellow actors (including KARL MALDEN and PINA PELLICER) nuanced improvisational depictions of conflicted characters. Though overwhelmed by its director’s perfectionism and plagued by production setbacks and studio re-editing, One-Eyed Jacks stands as one of Brando’s great achievements, thanks above all to his tortured turn as Rio, a bank robber bent on revenge against his one-time partner in crime, the aptly named Dad Longworth (MALDEN). Brooding and romantic, Rio marks the last, and perhaps the most tender, of the iconic outsiders Brando imbued with such remarkable intensity throughout his career.

AKIRA KUROSAWA’S DREAMS

“Astonishingly beautiful.”—Vincent Canby, The New York Times

“A magnificent, immensely absorbing experience.” —The Washington Post

Unfolding in a series of mythic vignettes, this late

work by AKIRA KUROSAWA (Seven Samurai, Ran)

brings eight of the beloved director’s own nighttime

visions, informed by tales from Japanese folklore, to

cinematic life. In a visually sumptuous journey through

the master’s unconscious, tales of childlike wonder

give way to apocalyptic visions: a young boy stumbles

on a fox wedding in a forest; a soldier confronts the

ghosts of the war dead; a power-plant meltdown

smothers a seaside landscape in radioactive fumes.

Interspersed with reflections on the redemptive power

of art, including a richly textured tribute to Vincent

van Gogh (played by MARTIN SCORSESE), Akira

Kurosawa’s Dreams is both a showcase for its maker’s

imagination at its most unbridled and a deeply

personal lament for a world at the mercy of

human ignorance.

PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE

“Any film that can discover so many avenues of

joy . . . must be touched by some kind of magic.” —A. O. Scott, The New York Times

“Exhilarating to watch because Sandler, liberated

from the constraints of formula, reveals

unexpected depths as an actor.” —Roger Ebert

Chaos lurks in every corner of this giddily off-kilter foray

into romantic comedy by PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON

(There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights). Struggling to

cope with his erratic temper, novelty toilet plunger

salesman Barry Egan (ADAM SANDLER, demonstrating

remarkable versatility in his first dramatic role) spends

his days collecting frequent-flyer-mile coupons and

dodging the insults of his seven sisters. The promise of

a new life emerges when Barry inadvertently attracts

the affections of a mysterious woman named Lena

(EMILY WATSON), but their budding relationship is

threatened when he falls prey to the swindling operator

of a phone sex line and her deranged boss (played

with maniacal brio by PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN).

Fueled by the careening momentum of a baroque-

futurist score by JON BRION (Eternal Sunshine of the

Spotless Mind, Magnolia), the Cannes-award-winning

Punch-Drunk Love channels the spirit of classic

Hollywood musicals and the whimsy of Jacques Tati

into an idiosyncratic ode to the delirium of

new romance.
