Miklós Jancsó, that is! The Hungarian master, who shone brightly in the 60s and 70s, fell out of favor in the 80s, and is now making a comeback here in the 20s, is April's Director of the Month. Actually, very few of these films are available online, so I will most likely purchase the Kino Blu-ray set. But for now, I do have a copy of Round-Up (not affiliated with the Monsanto Corporation), so I'll get started on that.
And I haven't forgotten about 1972. This month's selection: Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan. Ooh, sexy!

Jancso's 1970 LA PACIFISTA seems to be a film maudit - Kino Lorber decided not to include in their retro of his films from that period - but it's available on rarefilmm. A Monica Vitti/Pierre Clementi vehicle about '60s radicals surely has some interest.
