***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming on August 26th on Blu-ray in the US form @WarnerArchive: #SevenWomen (1966)! In the final film of an illustrious career that spanned nearly five decades, director John Ford breaks his old mold: famed for making westerns, he directed an “eastern”;…

Enamorada blew me away this past weekend. I'm sure there are other Félix gems in here too, but I highly encourage un-Enamorada'ed New Yorkers to seek it out on either the 19th or 24th. (and French Cancan on 35mm, but of course)
