For the price of seeing one movie at the theater, you can be a member of Netflix.  I'm sure you know this.  But did you know about all of the outstanding unlimited movies and t.v. shows you can stream direct to your computer.  Oh you do.  Did you know that they have added a tremendous amount of Criterion Collection film recently? 

The Blackbird team is going to pick one movie a week we have watched on Netflix.  If you would like to send us recommendations, please email info@blackbirdballard.com.  We might just post your favorite.

Writers Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) are close friends who fall in love with the same woman, the unpredictable Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), amid the turbulence of World War I Paris in one of director François Truffaut's best-loved films, adapted from the novel by Henri-Pierre Roché.
