With its new line of “Janus Contemporaries” devoted to recent theatrical releases, the Criterion Collection debuts a promising trio: Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize winner and Oscar nominee EO pursues a wandering donkey on its fateful journey through modern-day Europe, experiencing the best and worst of humanity from a unique perspective. In The Innocent, a teacher marries one of her pupils—a man serving time in prison for robbery—much to the dismay of her skeptical son, who warms up to his paroled stepdad when recidivism offers a newfound opportunity. Reflecting its director’s real-life status, No Bears follows a dissident Iranian filmmaker working in neighboring Turkey on a love story whose protagonists are thwarted by unseen forces. As an extra, each Janus title includes an interview with the movie’s maker.

In the pre–Production Code Hollywood era, more than racy dialogue and fleeting nudity ruled; so did the sordid strangeness of circus performer–cum–filmmaker Browning’s notorious outings. His most infamous film, Freaks, stars real-life circus-sideshow performers united by their ostracism from mainstream society. Silent film star Lon Chaney plays an armless knife-thrower using his feet in The Unknown, with Joan Crawford as his associate and love interest. In The Mystic, silent-era singer Aileen Pringle stars as a fake psychic who partners with a con man to swindle society matrons. An adventurous trio gets a digital sprucing up.
