Foreign Films in the Library

What’s on this Wednesday??? Only the oldest among us remember when there were no videos to rent and seeing a foreign film meant going to an art house theater. Companies like Janus Films saw that these movies were distributed in the United States, and Janus is now celebrating 50 years of film with a set called “Essential Art House”. The set includes a huge companion book and 50 films on DVD including classics by Eisenstein, Antonioni, Camus, Lean, Ozu, Truffaut, Renoir, Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Bergman and Fellini. A keyword search in the library catalog for Janus Films will bring you a long list of what is on the shelf, any one of which might be perfect for viewing on a snowy weekend afternoon. If you want to keep a video over the holiday break, please ask for an extended loan period when you check it out.
