Director Sean Baker has proven himself to be one of the most interesting new voices working in American independent cinema. With his latest feature, TANGERINE, Baker has made his most vibrant and critically acclaimed film yet. Starring the dynamic newcomers Mya Taylor (who recently won a Gotham Award for breakthrough actor) and Kitana Kiki Rodriguez, the film portrays a day in the life of two transgender sex workers as they walk the streets of Los Angeles on Christmas Eve. The film, which is one part screwball revenge comedy and one part moving portrait of female friendship, was remarkably shot on an iPhone 5s. It’s now also making Hollywood history: Magnolia Pictures has launched Oscar-nomination campaigns for Rodriguez and Taylor-for best actress and best supporting actress-marking the first time a film distributor has backed the Oscar campaign of a transgender actor.
We were thrilled to have Baker stop by Criterion last week for a visit and a look inside our film closet. Below, check out the wide-ranging selection of films he chose to take with him-and watch TANGERINE on Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes.

@Whoa802 3 месяца назад

I think the dream of the overnight success indie director like Robert Rodriguez or Kevin Smith is dead now. Far too many folks are out there making movies now with little-to-no financial support, so the mere accomplishment of getting a feature-length indie done on your own isn't as impressive a feat to studio executives as it was back during the analog era. If there's anyone here who's also an aspiring filmmaker like me, my advice for them is to keep calm and keep trying. Not everyone can have a breakout indie debut like Steven Soderbergh or Richard Linklater. It takes time, patience, and hard work.

It's funny to see now after watching "The Florida Project" that he chose here great movies starred by kids like "Kes", "Yi Yi" and "Secret Sunshine" that served as divine inspiration to make this new film. The result couldn't be better: Brooklynn Prince is terrific in "The Florida Project".

Anybody else get the feeling that Criterion Collectors are starting to resemble vinyl collectors like we see in HIGH FIDELITY? Where we all turn into a bunch of elitists arguing over which Danish movement was best, make lists of best sophomore efforts (and shitting on people with more than 4 English-language films in any list), and keep demanding Blu-ray editions of obscure Senegalese Third Cinema movies? I mean, I'm looking FORWARD to it, but...I still worry.

David Heslin No, it's not. But the TEMPTATION to be purist assholes can be very strong when you start talking about what makes a quality film worthy of recognition from Criterion.
