May!

Girlfight - never seen it, looks mildly interesting. Rental?

Anatomy of a Fall - figured I'd get around to this eventually anyway. Rental.

Three Revolutionary Films by Ousmane Sembčne - Xala and Ceddo are good (haven't seen Emitai) but not fond enough of them to buy. Rather skimpy extras as well. Pass.

Peeping Tom (4K) - I thought this was good but don't quite get all the love for it. Pass.

Floating Weeds/Story of Floating Weeds - In which I once again ask myself, "do I like Ozu enough to buy this?" and the answer again is no. He's so close, but not quite there. Pass.


Only one 4K release this month?

Anatomy and Sembene look like 2K releases.

June!

Blue Velvet (4K) - One of my favorite movies ever since it came out. Nothing new from the Blu-Ray, but will absolutely upgrade. Purchase.

The Underground Railroad - I absolutely loved this. Great suite of bonus features too (is Jenkins doing commentary on all 10 hours?). Purchase.

Bound - Never saw this, but it sounds like something in my wheelhouse. Rental.

Querelle - Haven't seen. I run hot and cold on Fassbinder, but this might be worth a look. Rental.

Victims of Sin - Again, haven't seen... but it sounds great! Rental.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (4K) - Once a favorite, but I've grown tired of it. Pass.


strong month!

The Querelle cover is weird. Looks like it was made by AI.
