I got the CRITERION Bluray after years of renting it from the library, watching it on Turner Classic Movies and other things. I've watched it Dubbed, Subbed it's such a pleasurable movie.
It's streaming free on KANOPY, but they don't have the English Dub that was part of the reason I got the Bluray.
Also I wanted to see the Special features and interviews and commentators.
Such a fulfilling allegorical story. It is existentialistic, it's a poem of the contemporary, both of the 1960s and still now 65 years later, today. Maybe even for all time. It's a perpetually modernistic tale told through a setting of the middle ages, the crusades, during the height of the bubonic plague.
The movie's mixture of these elements is a reminder that things don't really change all that much.
The setting, the style change, but the themes of existence, faith, and life; of society and the world, it's a Danse Macabre for us all, and the hope that we might have one meaningful, hopefully remembered, deed before the darkness of finality and death.
