It’s Day 2 of my short-short vacation, and I just uploaded reviews for a pair of Jan Kadar films as a sly tie-in to Criterion’s Czech New Wave boxed set (which\u00a0I’ll cover in due time).<\/p>\n

I recently reviewed Kadar’s classic CanCon film Lies My Father Told Me<\/a> <\/strong>[M<\/a>] (1975), and the follow-up reviews are for his Oscar-winning The Shop on Main Street \/ Obchod na korze<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (1965), and the little-known, barely-seen, long-forgotten\u00a0mini-masterpiece Adrift<\/strong> \/ Desire Called Anada<\/strong> \/ Touha zvan\u00e1 Anada<\/strong><\/a> [M<\/a>]\u00a0(1971)<\/p>\n

Shop <\/strong>is already available from Criterion (and in need of a proper HD transfer \/ special edition), whereas Adrift<\/strong> is, well, gone, except for a copy chopped into 10 parts on YouTube<\/a>. I suggest you A) read my review; B) watch the online version, as it sports English subtitles; and C) write Criterion in the hope they may give it their time and care.<\/p>\n

I hope to have another review up within the next day or two, depending on time. Technically I’m on vacation, but I’ve also been shooting footage for a pair of short films – one arty-farty, the other a vignette of sorts. All I’ll say at this point is I love my Canon SX-220 HS camera, and my Sony ICD-SX712 audio recorder; they’re a filmmaking set that fits into two wittle pockets.<\/p>\n

That is all.<\/p>\n
