[Directed by Pedro Almodóvar]( Deliriously melodramatic, riotously funny, and profoundly empathetic, the films of this Spanish auteur form a boldly colorful universe unto themselves, one in which camp excess, larger-than-life women, and transgressive desire are celebrated with audacious exuberance. This retrospective, available exclusively on the Criterion Channel through the end of August, showcases his unique ability to blend the lurid and outrageous with genuine human feeling. [Summer of ’69]( The three films in this series—Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, Easy Rider, and Midnight Cowboy—are era-defining transmissions from a transformative moment in the American zeitgeist. [Through a Child’s Eyes]( Awash in images of ethereal beauty, these richly sensorial films evoke the worlds of two children coming to terms with the complexities of the adult world. [Directed by Rebecca Miller]( The acclaimed writer-director excels at capturing complex family dynamics and psychological states. This series features Miller introducing three of her films. [Doin’ It for Themselves]( Claudia Weill’s DIY classic Girlfriends has inspired generations of independent filmmakers, including Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig, whose Frances Ha bears its influence. [Saturday Matinee]( Tradition! Norman Jewison’s Academy Award–winning adaptation of the oft-revived Broadway hit Fiddler on the Roof is a joyous, lavishly mounted delight. EDITION #910 [Tom Jones]( Albert Finney delivers a career-defining performance in this classic of irreverent wit and playful cinematic expression, which won an Oscar for best picture. SPECIAL FEATURES: Tony Richardson’s 1989 director’s cut, a program on the film’s cinematography, an excerpt from The Dick Cavett Show, and more. EDITION #450 [Bottle Rocket]( Wes Anderson first illustrated his lovingly detailed, slightly surreal cinematic vision (with cowriter Owen Wilson) in this visually witty and warm portrait of three young misfits. SPECIAL FEATURES: An audio commentary, a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, and more.
