About

What if your basic movie nerd watched one hundred Criterion Collection films-spanning 22 countries and almost a century of motion pictures-fastidiously gobbling up all the bonus features along the way? And what if said nerd then decided to share his discoveries in plain, clear language?
Join Peter Johansson as he takes you through international classics, Hollywood studio gems, silent films, documentaries, musicals and more; everything from Do the Right Thing to La dolce vita, from The Breakfast Club to The Blob, from Gilda to Godzilla. Learn why filmmakers like Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, and John Huston are still revered today, and how contemporary directors Bong Joon Ho and Céline Sciamma picked up where they left off.
Criterion Tuesdays is a whirlwind tour through film history, made simple for casual movie fans, with plenty of fascinating insights for serious film buffs. Engaging, funny, and deeply personal, these 100 essays make up the story of one fan's lifelong passion for the silver screen.
Love movies? Criterion Tuesdays is a book after your own heart.
