The supposed demise of physical media has been well covered and long lamented, with each passing year bringing reports of yet another nail in the coffin of the once flourishing DVD and Blu-ray market. Fall 2023 brought a double whammy of bad news: Netflix shipped its final discs to customers before closing up its DVD department for good, and a month later, Best Buy announced that it would be phasing out the sale of physical media. Yet, while DVDs are no longer the massive revenue generator for studios that they were throughout the first decade of the 2000s, it has never been a better time to be a physical media enthusiast. Thanks to independent labels like Criterion, Kino Lorber, Shout! Factory, Arrow, Imprint, Indicator, and many others, every month sees the release of well over a dozen exceptional titles, often lovingly restored and with indispensable scholarly extras.

The late Arthur Barron was a New York-based documentary film director perhaps best known for his two-hour Birth and Death film from 1969, followed by the true story of the Wright Brothers and their road to flight. Following these projects but prior to delving into made-for-television documentary fare in the mid-1970’s, he tried his hand at feature filmmaking, employing similar documentary-style techniques that William Friedkin used to startling effect in his masterful 1971 film The French Connection. Instead of following around two police detectives hot on the trail of heroin smugglers, however, Mr. Barron instead turned his attention to a dramatic subject that, almost unbelievably, was for the most part untapped at the time. His feature film directorial debut is the teenage coming-of-age romantic drama filmed in the autumn of 1972 called Jeremy, starring actor Robby Benson as the titular hero and...

Above: Hungarian poster for The Sleeping Car Murders. Designer: Sándor Benkő.Last summer I wrote about my discovery of Hungarian movie poster design and featured a number of posters for very well known films from The Wizard of Oz to The Elephant Man. Those posters highlighted the distinctly different graphic approaches taken by Hungarian designers compared to their country-of-origin counterparts. But while delving deeper into the world of Hungarian poster design—mostly via the auction site Bedo—I have come across many even more remarkable designs for films that are less well known. The fifteen posters that I’ve chosen to highlight here were all made in the ’60s and ’70s and there is a distinct pop art sensibility at work: a lot of bold, primary colors and almost cartoonish illustrations, but always in the service of bold, striking graphics. Distinctly upbeat, while perhaps not expressly joyful, they do give...

Written and directed by Arthur Barron, this bittersweet high school romance won over some pretty hard-bitten critics upon its release in 1973. Robbie Benson plays the love-shy Jeremy and Glynnis O’Connor is the young ballet student who breaks the ice (she also sings the title tune). The movie was co-produced by Elliot Kastner who knew his way around blockbuster action (Where Eagles Dare) and quirky art-house material (Tony Richardson’s Laughter in the Dark).
