Just ordered Purple Noon and L'eclisse on Blu-ray with Amazon Christmas money. Psyched.

PURPLE NOON is terrific, one of the best Highsmith adaptations imo.

I'll get Mann's THE FURIES. Great, oddball film.

Greg Ruth, the artist on the Memories of Murder cover, mentioned on twitter that it took over 32 hours over 3 or 4 days to complete and the section below took over 8 hours to complete

I Love it. Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston are absolutely nuts in it. Love all of Anthony Mann's westerns. Right up there with Budd Boetticher as my favorites.

Greg Ruth did an incredible graphic novel written by Ethan Hawke a couple years back called INDEH: The Story of the Apache Wars.

UK slate for April 2021 was a little late being announced, I suspect because there is some delays with the planned UK release of the WKW boxset (so it isn't part of the month's releases). Anyway, April 2021:
The Darjeeling Limited (the 3rd Fox title released in the UK, following The Grand Budapest Hotel & Kagemusha)
Secrets & Lies
Charulata

NIGHTMARE ALLEY, Hell yes! Can't wait for this one. Still pretty unsettling and grim. I haven't seen MERRILY WE GO TO HELL but it sounds interesting - one of the earlier studies of the impacts of alcoholism. And Sylvia Sidney is always terrific, she really shines in these sorts of roles (she marries March knowing he has a drinking problem).
