Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. This fourth season of the podcast features conversations about movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually receive the Criterion imprimatur. In this episode, David is joined by Daisuke Beppu, Richard Doyle, and Robert Taylor to discuss Savages, directed by James Ivory. The film was previously issued on DVD by the Criterion Collection in 2004 as part of the Merchant Ivory Collection.
