The Kid With a Bike
($39.95 Blu-ray, $29.95 DVD; Criterion Collection)
Left at a boy’s home, 11-year-old Cyril decides to track down his dad and, even more critically, his beloved bicycle. Enter Samantha, a kindly hairdresser, who helps the wounded, increasingly aggressive Cyril in his quest. Things get even more complicated when an older boy with dubious motives enters the picture. Winner of Cannes’ Grand Jury prize in 2011, Bike is possibly the best work by the Dardenne Brothers (L’Enfant)— a humane, observant, and gripping piece of modern neorealism that never condescends or resorts to sentimental Hollywood parlor tricks. Extras include filmmaker and cast interviews, a making-of featurette, and more.

@MikeE: I read that and couldn’t get past the ridiculous ego blowjob Lawrence gave himself when he thought of it.
Surprised it didn’t descend into a full rant about how Herzog and Kurosawa on their own are better than anything anyone in the west has ever produced. So I guess he gets kudos for that.
He also scores points for not going on and on about David Lynch.

ROFLMAO
sorry, you mean a film that resorts to all of the crassest of French cinema’s pitiful stereotypes?
