Alejandro Iñárritu: Last News

It goes without saying that some of the world’s foremost filmmakers were swept up in personal nostalgia during the stay-at-home period of the pandemic.

The ‘70s represented some of horror’s most creative and exciting developments. Criterion Channel is taking the month of October to delve into this influential decade’s fright-filled contributions with their newest collection—‘70s Horror.
