\nThe author of Criterion Tuesdays is back with 100 new essays on Criterion Collection films. Spanning over 100 years of cinema across 38 countries, Criterion Tuesdays, Vol. 2 is an informative and entertaining dive into world cinema history. In these pages are stories of the greatest films and filmmakers the world has produced, and whether you're a casual Netflix streamer or a seasoned film scholar, you'll find gems you never knew existed; all in writer Peter Johansson's warm and engaging style.\n \n\n \nIn addition to film giants like Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, and Billy Wilder, Vol. 2 seeks out the more diverse voices in cinema.

You'll meet Marlon Riggs, a gay Black videographer and documentarian in the Reagan era, who left his deathbed to dance in his final film. And Dorothy Arzner, the only woman directing in Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s.\n \n\n \nThriller, horror, drama, romance, action, documentary, Westerns, science fiction, comedy, mystery - all the great genres of the movies we love can be found in the pages of Criterion Tuesdays, Vol. 2.
