The Criterion Channel’s programming in July will bring in “a bevy of femmes fatales, gumshoes, crooks, and con artists” in a neo-noir collection, plus “an extensive survey of art-house animation from around the world explores the imaginative, surreal, and boundary-pushing vanguard of animated film.”
Criterion editions such as Slacker and Hoop Dreams will also premiere on the channel. Here’s the list of everything coming to the streaming service this July:

CRITERION ORIGINALS
JULY 22: Observations on Film Art No. 43: Flash Cuts and Long Takes in Le bonheur (1965, Agnès Varda)
“One of the most provocative films by the great Agnès Varda, Le bonheur interrogates our ideals of marriage, fidelity, and happiness through the sun-dappled tale of a young husband and father (Jean-Claude Drouot) who begins an affair with an attractive postal worker. In this edition of Observations on Film Art, Professor Jeff Smith considers the way that Varda experiments with long takes and quick cutting in this film. The unpredictable rhythms of Varda’s editing choices build tension, contributing to her unsettling exploration of the contradictions hidden beneath the brightness of the film’s visual palette.”
