| Alexander_ , too) I've always been a Fellini person, since the

| _Amarcord_ and _Roma_ ) but to this day I cannot watch the last
| sequence of _Otto e mezzo_ without tearing up. Lawton also
| introduced me to Lana Wertmuller, who does not seem to be as well
| known as she deserves. If you have the chance, watch her
| controversial _Swept Away_.

| My wife and I both love cinema, so we tried to get our son
| interested in it, to little effect ... until he started watching
| Criterion on his own. He started to watch Kurosawa's movies
| because they were "samurai movies" but got hooked! We're now
| having discussions about his characterizations in _The Hidden
| Castle_ and other movies.

| If you can spare some time I very strongly suggest to subscribe
| to Criterion streaming, at least for a few months ($10/mo in the
| US) to discover the old gems.
