From 'Boys Don't Cry' to 'Rashomon', these are the highlights coming to criterionchannl this month.
As always, the Criterion Channel is your home for cinema classics and contemporary gems on their way to classic status. March is Women’s History Month, so there’s a slew of worthwhile features and shorts by female directors. Never a streamer content with a single theme, this month also sees collections honoring winners of the Best Foreign-Language Oscar, Pre-Code era Paramount Pictures films, and more. As a result, this month’s roster is rather stacked.
This brings us to our first film, the Paramount production Trouble in Paradise. Its director, Ernst Lubitsch, was known for making rather sophisticated fare with a deft touch of innuendo, and this crime-adjacent romantic comedy is considered not just one of his best, but one of the overall best films of the era.
Germany’s got many complicated histories. For as much as its Second World War activities are pored over in film, television, and the gamut of popular art, back in 2006, the period of Stasi-haunted, Soviet-controlled East Germany had not quite been tackled by a serious filmmaker before von Donnersmarck’s directorial debut came along. It’s a period that had only ended 17 years prior.
Another acclaimed feature debut by a female director, this one with an altogether different energy. It stars Simone Missick as a woman feeling bereft of joy—uninspired—and so decides to convert to Islam for the community, direction, and fresh vitality, and who adopts the dogmatic strictness expected of a new convert.
