Thank you for these Losey rarities. Jon!
thanks Jon for the 103 minutes version of this rare Losey’s gem
This one is amazing. Thank you for helping me discover it, Jon! (More Isabelle Huppert, please!) 🙂
Barton, what other JL films are on here?
His version of M is on here. I may have imagined it, but Secret Ceremony might once have been here too?
I’ve seen 8-10 Losey films and liked or loved every one. So far, my favorite has been The Boy With Green Hair, closely followed by The Big Night. Any fans of this auteur please weigh in on your favorite films of JL and why.
