Criterion starts streaming
What with everyone getting into the streaming-video racket — see the recent post about iTunes, a veteran streamer, now presenting “Slacker” for online viewing — it only makes sense that the best DVD distributor, The Criterion Collection, would unleash its prestigious library of classic, foreign and art house titles into the online ether.
Enter The Criterion Collection Online Cinematheque, where you can watch or buy great movies in pristine editions — although, notably, not all streamed versions offer their DVD counterpart’s supplements. Films currently up and ready for rental include “Solaris,” “Clean, Shaven,” “The Cranes Are Flying,” “Fat Girl,” “Juliet of the Spirits,” “Lord of the Flies,” “The Thief of Bagdad” and more. Also check out the site’s new film festival link.
Rent, shop and peruse in awe HERE.
“Thief of Bagdad” (1940)
