Interesting. The NYT stated it was an article I could “share”.

NYT, but I did not encounter a paywall. Apologies if one pops up.

The American equivalent of Luis Buñuel.

But just because a consumer tech is no longer mainstream, and more immediately accessible and convenient alternatives are available, doesn’t mean that the older tech is totally forgotten (just look at the apparent resurgence of older digital cameras and even VHS tapes).
I have friends who, besides their digital and DVD collections of films, have amassed large collections of VHS cassettes. I could never go back to viewing that form of media. I would rather listen to 78 lacquer records on a wind up turntable.
Thank goodness though, for the Criterion Sales. Between their website yearly sale and the twice yearly B&N sales, I load up on all the films I know won’t be streamed anytime soon, if ever, and which I know I’ll enjoy watching again and again. Not to mention the in depth supplemental features and booklets. I liken it to purchasing an LP version of an opera boxset which would generally include the libretto and historical notes.

Two other directors that come to mind as being intricately involved with their movie’s music are John Carpenter, who wrote many of the musical themes utilized in his works; and Quentin Tarantino, who would choose popular tunes that made his movie soundtracks undeniably memorable. Both directors, though not surrealist’s in the David Lynch sense, definitely had an impact on how their films were to be interpreted.
