Cinematography retrospectives are the way to go—more than a thorough display of talent, it exposes the vast expanse a Dp will travel, like an education in form and business all the same. Accordingly I’m happy to see the Criterion Channel give a 25-film tribute to James Wong Howe, whose career spanned silent cinema to the ’70s, populated with work by Howard Hawks, Michael Curtz, Samuel Fuller, Alexander Mackendrick, Sydney Pollack, John Frankenheimer, and Raoul Walsh.
Further retrospectives are granted to Romy Schneider (recent repertory sensation La piscine among them), Carlos Saura (finally a chance to see Peppermint frappe!), the British New Wave, and groundbreaking distributor Cinema 5, who brought to U.S. shores everything from The Man Who Fell to Earth and Putney Swope to Pumping Iron and Scenes from a Marriage.

Above: French poster for Max and the Junkmen.There is the usual treasure trove of international cinema currently playing on Mubi in the United States, but in among the Ealing Comedies, the second part of an essential Heinz Emigholz retrospective, and the jamboree bag of past Cannes favorites, for me the current standouts are the four films by Claude Sautet that still have over a week left to run. One of the less well-known of the great French filmmakers of the second half of the 20th century, Claude Sautet’s films are hard to see but they are gems that should not be missed. And they also have terrific posters. Here are my favorite French and international posters for the four films that Mubi is currently showing: Max and the Junkmen (1971), César and Rosalie (1972), Vincent, François, Paul and the Others (1974) and A Bad Son (1980).Above: Polish poster for Max and the Junkmen.

★★★☆☆ César and Rosalie (1972) is a piece of fanciful French whimsy by director Claude Sautet. An obscure little drama starring Yves Montand, Romy Schneider and Sami Frey, this film, though never really going anywhere, strangely manages to hold your attention with its languid, laid back approach. Rosalie (Schneider) is a divorced mother of one who happily divides her time between her mother's house, where she lives with her siblings and daughter, and her boyfriend César's apartment. César (Montand) has made a fortune dealing in scrap metal and, though he loves Rosalie dearly and she him, he seldom shows his appreciation for her outwardly.

The Things of Life (Les Chose de la Vie)
Directed by Claude Sautet
Written by Paul Guimard, Claude Sautet
France, 1970
Claude Sautet’s films often get lost in the New Wave shuffle. Alongside contemporaries Bertrand Tavernier and Alain Cavalier, his cinema was alive and kicking in the 1960s, though he didn’t come into his own as director until later in the decade.
1970′s The Things of Life is a non-chronological look at the transience of life. Starring Sautet regular Romy Schneider (The Trial, César and Rosalie) and French stalwart Michel Piccoli (Contempt, Belle du Jour, The Grand Buffet) as on-again, off-again lovers, the film is framed by a terrifically shot car crash where Sautet effectively uses repetitious action and slow-motion for emphasis.
With the opening of the film Sautet concentrates his camera on a lone car wheel in the grass. The simple shot is important. It mirrors the circular...

School's out, so let our guest experts help you make the most of the British summer. Here's what to watch, what to listen to, what to read, how to picnic to perfection, and how to find the best beaches
How to spot a good beach by Hugh Graham
The editor of Time Out's Seaside Guide suggests 10 ways to know you've found the perfect beach:
1) Crashing waves
The appropriately named Hell's Mouth in north Wales puts on quite a show, as do Freshwater West (Pembrokeshire) and Sennen Cove (Cornwall).
2) Great views
The views above Rhossili Bay, a sublime Welsh strand on the Gower, rival the world's great coastal vistas.
3) Caribbean feel
In the sunshine, the turquoise seas and talcum-powder sand at Luskentyre, on the Hebridean island of Harris, are almost Bahamian.
4) Crag action
I love a bit of cragginess. Bedruthan Steps in north Cornwall takes rugged good looks to extremes.
5) Sand...
