Christmas Eve was McCabe & Mrs. Miller time.
I’d seen it twice before and, let me tell you, it gets better each time. I think I picked up on a lot more of the humor. I don’t remember the movie having so many LOL funny moments. I also forgot how stunning the cinematography is.
It’s presently below freezing here in Central Florida and I’m pretty sure John McCabe helped me dream of snow.
The movie is a part of The Criterion Channel’s ’Snow Westerns’ selection and it’s leaving on December 31. If you’re a Channel subscriber be sure to watch this masterpiece (or watch it again).

Last night I watched Robert Bresson’s 1959 masterpiece Pickpocket. The act of crime is portrayed as poetically as one man’s path to emotional revelation.
