IN VANDA'S ROOM Trailer (2000) - The Criterion Collection

With the intimate feel of a documentary and the texture of a Vermeer painting, Pedro Costa's In Vanda's Room takes an unflinching, fragmentary look at a handful of self-destructive, marginalized people, but is centered around the heroin-addicted Vanda Duarte.

@BulletproofEgo Aside from Ossos (shot on 35mm), there's no point. They're interlaced miniDV features. There would be no point to that aside from making the Gorin/Costa interviews look sharper. Unless you are a true stickler and want the 25fps versions (the way it was originally shot) and you have a region free player, go nuts and import it (the upcoming Masters of Cinema Colossal Youth release looks amazing). Otherwise, just buy the set. The Barnes and Noble sale is going on now so get it cheap

I'm still waiting for you guys to put out the Pedro Costa boxset on bluray!

Just saw "Change Nothing". A masterpiece. Pedro Costa is the man!

what Costa has achieved with this trilogy is remarkable, but the problem is IF the viewer can actually sit through them, which is not easy, for sure.

What Costa is doing is important, but it's just nowhere near commercial even on an indie level let alone a mainstream one.

Does anyone know the name of the piece by Kurtag that plays here and at the conclusion of the film?

God. Looks like it trumps both "Ossos" (which was pretty good) and "Colossal Youth" (which was freaking unfinishable). Yet, it being 171 minutes long troubles me. Hopefully I can get to the end.
