Criterion Blogathon: Belle de Jour

Belle de Jour

This coming week marks one of the biggest Blogathons in history (I have nothing to support that claim, but I’m making it anyway), the Criterion Blogathon, sponsored by Criterion Blues, Speakeasy, and Silver Screenings. The blogathon will highlight a huge (not exaggerating) selection of films from the Criterion Collection. I’m participating via my website Midnight Only with a review of the Luis Buñuel classic Belle de Jour (1967), starring Catherine Deneuve in one of her most iconic roles. Head on over to read my post, or check out the full list of participating blogs.
