Criterion Reflections – Episode 31 – Jaromil Jireš’s Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

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. Each episode of this second season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1970 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by Trevor Berrett, Arik Devens, and Jordan Essoe to discuss Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, directed by Jaromil Jireš.
