  Gerda Maurus, in par­tic­u­lar, is abso­lutely incan­des­cent in “Spione”.

  A little sur­prised Glenn has­n’t pos­ted a Jacques Rivette piece, unless it’s else­where and I missed it? Keeping my fin­gers crossed.
  Last night I pro­jec­ted The Story of Marie and Julien for some friends and I’m glad to say it has some new admirers.
  And I’m also drool­ing over the Rivette boxed set from Arrow that just arrived this week.

  Whatever pre­cip­it­ated the NEW YORK TIMES critic-work, keep it com­ing. I was delighted to find two GK bylines in this week’s reviews.

  Agreed – maybe they’d let you review that new “Je t’aime, Je t’aime” Blu-ray?

  “But if 1928 was the end of the silent era, it was also its apex.” – Luc Sante, writ­ing for the Criterion Collection release of ‘The Docks of New York’.
  Sante cites ‘Spies’ among oth­ers, though not – and if I may add – Jean Epstein’s ‘Finis Terrae’, which looks excel­lent on the recent (OK, 2014) French DVD.
