Fuck yes at Late Spring. Hopefully Early Summer and Tokyo Story aren't too far behind.
Your taste in Ozu is similar to mine! Those are my favorites, surpassed only by An Autumn Afternoon. Can't wait to own a copy of Late Spring on bluray.Fuck yes at Late Spring. Hopefully Early Summer and Tokyo Story aren't too far behind.
Getting Late Spring for sure. About time Ozu got a blu-ray release by Criterion.

Carl Theodor Dreyer's LA PASSION DE JEANNE D'ARC / Jeanne d'Arcs lidelse og død / The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) (Just to clarify. We'll be working on Dreyer's LA PASSION DE JEANNE D'ARC all year. It will *not* be released this Spring. Looking like 2013)
MoC has several region free releasesUgh I really hate the fact that MoC releases are region-locked just like I know most people hate the fact that Criterion's are the same.

What didn't you like about it?Just finished Branded to Kill; how can House make sense, but this movie frustrate me to no end? I get a bit of French New Wave in the editing, but it was just a chore to get through.
What didn't you like about it?
Have you seen Tokyo Drifter yet?
If not, don't. If you struggled with Branded then TD will be entirely incomprehensible I would imagine.

I could more readily see myself going back to watch that movie again rather than Tokyo Drifter.
I thought about trading BtK in at Amazon, but I will watch it again at some point. Maybe when I have a better understanding of Japanese cinema. And I will try to watch Tokyo Drifter, I'm just not going to blind buy it like I did BtK. So many Criterions that I want it kinda pisses me off that I took a chance with that one...

Which yet again begs the question: why do so many people willingly drop $20 on one thing they're unsure about rather than, say, $8 - $10 to be able to check out as many Criterions as you can handle with Hulu and/or Netflix?

Just sayin', it's weird to throw the money at things you don't even know you'll like when there are multiple viewing options at a fraction of the cost.
Do want!
It's from Being John Malkovich
Yeah, but it's Entertainment Weekly. Think about that for a second.

Heads up: Criterion has a 50% off sale on their own site tomorrow starting at noon EST!
If you made a Criterion wish list, you get a 10 dollar credit too. Probably get Tokyo Drifter and Branded to Kill. Fuck yeah!
Discerning, aren't they.
