"Perhaps an obvious choice, but I’m in awe of this film. I had the privilege of meeting Chris Marker once, and I asked him how he conceived the film. He said it came to him, fully formed, like a dream. I probably made up that “like a dream” part, but I definitely experience the film that way. It compresses more wonder, terror, and love into twenty-seven minutes than most films begin to do at feature length."

"For our little group of starving filmmaker friends muddling through our twenties, this particular box set was sort of a holy grail. I’m barely exaggerating when I say that it was mythic-like Harry Smith’s Anthology in the West Village folk scene in the sixties. If somebody had the Criterion Brazil at their apartment, it would draw a crowd. A beautiful transfer, exhaustive supplements, and the “Love Conquers All” cut is a holy terror of a revelation."
