"I discovered this film when it got nominated for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars. I was shocked. It’s a masterpiece."

"This book killed me dead. A sprawling, character-driven epic set in India in the 1970s. It’s surely a modern masterpiece."

"Something Wild is a pop masterpiece from a man who was, until recently, my favorite living filmmaker, Jonathan Demme. Rest in peace."

"I love Dirk Bogarde. Visconti’s articulation of beauty as God makes this his masterpiece for me, and Piero Tosi is always perfect."

"A perfect example of how something they won’t teach you is a masterpiece in school can in fact be a masterpiece. Because this was a Criterion Collection DVD, there was no argument over whether it was essential and must be taken seriously. Also the first time I understood the importance of getting something “out of print.”"
