Mary Bronstein's Closet Picks in the Criterion Closet

Added on by C. Maoxian.

I’ve added the nine movies that Mary Bronstein picked in her Criterion Closet appearance:

  • Dance, Girl, Dance

  • Merrily We Go to Hell

  • Frownland

  • Daddy Longlegs

  • Chantal Akerman Masterpieces, 1968-1978

  • Inland Empire

  • This Is Spinal Tap

  • Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales

  • It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Mary Bronstein made two original picks: Merrily We Go to Hell, and Daddy Longlegs. She is apparently the wife of Ronald Bronstein. He made one of the grimmest movies of all time, Frownland, which I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy.

Identifying whether a pick is original or not is one reason why my Master List of Closet Picks in the Criterion Closet is so valuable.
