Eve's Bayou is an addition to the collection I've really hoped for. I saw it when I was younger but barely remember it. I went down a rabbit hole trying to find examples of magical realism or gothic horror in black film and it's a very short list. Even shorter when considering what's accessible, this why I really hoped this one would make the cut. I just watched Cure for the first time. I own the Masters of Cinema release and I'll be purchasing this one as well. It's incredibly fascinating.
Thank you for talking about the importance of Eve’s Bayou. You’ve definitely made me more intrigued to check it out. A black gothic horror I love is Ganja & Hess. If you haven’t seen that one, I’d recommend.
@@BillGriff1 I actually have seen it. It was the first film I watched as part of a podcast I'm doing with a few friends (we haven't published the first season yet) and we discussed how it'd be awesome to have more movies like that around.
I saw people on r/criterion speculating that "1997 France" was actually Lost Highway as it is a US-France co-production. Admittedly, the only one from this bunch I've seen is 'Cure' but I'm defo interested in checking the rest out at some point, especially 'Lost Highway'.
Hey Bill- Awesome stuff. Sad to say never seen any of these films. Cure looks the most interesting.( you had me with the memories of murder comment). I didn’t think Mulholland Drive was confusing at all but is Lost Highway actually a really good movie or am I in for just a giant headache? Thanks.
