Introduction


Welcome to Cheaper Than Film School, a blog dedicated to getting around the rising cost of educating yourself about films readily available on the internet! Beginning with Grand Illusion we plan to watch the entirety of the Criterion Collection in order of spine number. Typically reviews will alternate, with one of us taking care of the main review and the other offering a short second opinion. So enjoy the beginnings of a comprehensive blog about some of the best films ever made! Below I've posted a summary of how a typical review will work:




Background: Fairly evident, a smattering of facts and interesting bits of information.




First Impressions: Thoughts on the film immediately after viewing, a general sense of what the film is about.




Review: The full review of the film.




Second Opinion: Thoughts from the other reviewer, overlooked aspects of the film.




Closing Thoughts: What you can learn from the film that you didn't need to go to film school to figure out.
