day for night

Woah I had no idea that the English title for "La nuit américaine" was actually "Day for night" although thinking about it, it couldn't have been anything else...

Anyway, nice

I wish they'd release "L'homme qui aimait les femmes".

 

[Fjordson]

When is Mulholland Drive coming?

 

[omgkitty]

 

[Fjordson]

I'm in for Night and The City and Day for Night mos def.

 

[Ridley327]

I would have preferred something a bit more obviously pulpy, but the Dressed to Kill cover does give one a distinct trashy airport novel cover feeling, which suits the film well.

There's also GASP a new Eclipse set out that month, too:

You and me both buddy.

 

[overcast]

Never seen Day For Night or Dressed to Kill. Both are certainly tempting.

By the way, not totally Criterion related. Thought you guys would appreciate it though. 40% off all Blu Ray sale starts on June 9th at Barnes and Noble. I just got two 20% off coupons that go through the 21st of Junes. Plus I'm a member. I'm gonna eat. Might grab a set or something. Possibly Twin Peaks or just a random Blu Ray.

I read that this is usually a tell tale sign that a Criterion 50% off sale will come within a month or so (July). That being the one that always comes in summer.

Oh damn, thanks for the heads up. I'm a B&N member too, gonna have to grab some.

 

[overcast]

Yeah, it's kind of crazy how B&N is completely useless for 90% of the year but these deals are absurdly good with stacking coupons + membership. Can get sets more than 50% off. Craziness.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Is Criterion releasing the Apu Trilogy?

I have to see Day for Night.

Lmao, yeah, I never use B&N really other than blu-ray sales (I have a Kindle for books).

It's been confirmed for November.

I don't know if you've seen this, but it's the restoration trailer for the Apu trilogy.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Awesome, I've wanted to watch it for a while since I've heard it's great, but I want to wait for the criterion bd.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Been thinking of going down to Houston this early June for the Apu Trilogy screening...might even be able to stay with a friend of the family.

 

[Marsipolami]

What's the word on a Criterion edition of Tree of Life?

 

[Marsipolami]

LOL

 

[Draconian]

This is old news, but I didn't see it anywhere in this thread. Criterion will be releasing Orson Welles' Othello later this year.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I finally get to watch the number 1 on my list today.

Library just got it in.

One of my favorites. First non-Kubrick Criterion I ever purchased.

 

[Steamlord]

House is a masterpiece.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Wow, this movie is a trip so far. I love the framing of the shots, the freeze-frames, transitions, classic stuff.

On the downside, again, I am not a fan of Criterion's translations. It feels very straight-forward, and losing a lot of the subtleties of the original text.

Translating 'yoroshiku' as 'Hello' for instance.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Whoever made that film was on all the drugs. Yikes.

Gorgeous visuals, but wow. What a trip.


So many amazing effects, I don't know where to start. Visual feast of wizardry.

 

[killertofu]

Any rumblings on the Before trilogy?

I want to feel a thi g

I remember watching House for the first time. I actually saw a clip from YouTube, and that is what sold me on the movie. When it got released on blu-ray, I bought it, and I loved it. It's one of my favorites.

Masters of Cinema:

Arrow Video:

UK only:

UK & US:

Also: Kiju Yoshida: Love + Anarchism (boxed set of 3 newly restored films) no cover yet.

Studiocanal:

Also: L'eclisse and Naked Lunch are seemingly confirmed for release but no covers yet

 

[omgkitty]

This might very well be the cover:

Thought it could just be the included book.

I can't find it at the moment but a guy working for arrow has said that it isn't the final cover, though I suppose that could mean that it just is missing rating logos. Oh well, time will tell.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Barnes is having a 40% off all blus sale.

[adg1034]

Barnes is having a 40% off all blus sale.

And that means the Criterion sale is just around the corner. Hold the line.

 

[Ridley327]

I don't know if it means it's going to be a part of September's announcements, but Criterion is adding an HD version of Le Samouraï to iTunes next month. The wheels are finally motion, at least!

Oh lord. Hoping so hard a blu-ray is on the horizon.

 

[Ridley327]

(now with cover!)


And for the one of the more less likely Blu upgrades they've done:

 

[big ander]

The Criterion description of Blind Chance calling it his "first work of metaphysical genius" is flat-out wrong (that'd be the superior Camera Buff). Cover's cool and all but if anybody has only seen Three Colors/Veronique/Decalogue I'd recommend just springing for the Kino DVD set. I'm sure the Blind Chance transfer is beautiful and perhaps the extra 10 minutes take it from very good to great, yet the Holland interview is ported over from the Kino set and this edition inexplicably lacks any of the other numerous shorts and interviews on that set. Like, the Annette Insdorf interviews on the Kino set are incredibly insightful, and the shorts Talking Heads and Tramway are fantastic. What a disappointingly slight edition.

The Bruce Beresford titles seemed interesting and I couldn't remember why I recognized his name; I probably should know him as the director of Driving Mrs. Daisy but I still haven't seen that, so I vaguely recalled it from the decently placid Tender Mercies. Breaker Morant appears to be fairly well known while Mister Johnson seems much more under the radar. I'll try to catch one and/or the other.

EDIT:

Breaker Morant is excellent, but Mister Johnson has to be one of his most obscure movies going by Letterboxd's popularity ranking. I'd say watch the former on their Hulu channel before springing for a copy.

right that's what I meant by catch. Over a year ago I effectively stopped buying home releases of any movie I hadn't already seen.

[obin_gam]

I'm not sure if I agree with the Moonrise Kingdom cover. Why do they have the name twice? Why so saturated colors? What happened to the classic "Criterion Covers for Wes Anderson Movies Theme"?

 

[MikeMyers]

So I just watched Rene Clair's À Nous la Liberté (Freedom for Us) and I think I saw the Criterion symbol there. Maybe that is where it originates from?

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Honeymoon Killers cover art is still sublime.
I blind-bought the DVD based solely on its design.

 

[killertofu]

Do Crit sales usually apply to new releases? I want Hiroshima

 

[omgkitty]

Yep, 50% off all available titles.

 

[kms_md]

breaker morant on criterion BD? i will take one please (and one for my dad who introduced me to this movie so many years ago).

Michael Cera stops by the CC offices.

"I'm an actor, and uh, I'm with ICM Talent" lmao

Sounds like we've seen the same Kiarostami and Ozu movies.
