The Criterion Collection in 2017: All Fancy Movie GAF Releases Welcome!

You understand me.
And thanks for reminding me of who did the design for them, I'm assuming SC hired Johnny Dombrowski again because the Evil under the Sun and Mirror are new, no?
These were done in conjunction with SC so I wonder if they had him do all four right off the bat and only released the first two through BDP? Maybe they'll do the other ones as prints in the future.
Evil Under the Sun will be released as a print. Mirror Crack'd will not be.
in lol Suspiria lol news:
Now what makes this a terrifically catty moment is that CultFilms is releasing the TLE restoration, a restoration Synapse is claiming that Argento hated.
Oh. Now I just need to convince myself not to buy it, there is nowhere to hang it, it will be so costly, the mailman will probably mess it up (they lost my Arrow sale order, amongst a million other things), yet still I want it.

What's the newsletter teasing?
Don't remember. I don't really care about Suspiria other than it having the funniest colour timing arguments at the moment.
Tom Jones? Or is there another one?

Yeah, that one.
Also, the new closet video is eerie, because she has the same first name as my ex, and she's also a redhead.
(I used to show her obscure Criterions, she was about 50/50 in line with my taste. We both hated Picnic at Hanging Rock.)
It's teasing Tom Jones (1963).
If there was any confusion, my apologies I should have worded that clearer now that I tink about it.
Just shut up and open your damn wallet, kitty!
Since we discussed it a while back here is Cinelicious* Arbelos release of Funeral Parade of Roses which also includes 8 remastered short films by Matsumoto
Now release it here, Eureka pls.
*They are re-launching in 2018 with the new name and a 4K restoration of The Last Movie

New restoration of Funeral Parade of Roses is showing at the BFI London Film Festival, so perhaps a Blu from Eureka is on the cards in the future?
It's the Cinelicious restoration, but there is no UK distributor listed. But it is amusing, Arbelos was listed on there before they announced their existence. I was wondering wtf they were.
btw, since I didn't mention it on this board
Scarface, the 1932 one, has gotten a 4K restoration and will probably be released in the near furute
A Matter of Life and Death, has also gotten a 4K restoration and somebody better fucking release it.
The L-Shaped Room, also restored in 4K, Studiocanal is releasing it.

Apple's announcement that they'll be upgrading HD purchases to 4K for free, after initially upgrading SD purchases to HD for free, has me sat here regretting these thousands of obsolete discs.
I ordered an Apple TV 4K this morning.
I might finally be done with physical media.

I watched my DVD of Election last week, lol. It only had a commentary, but it's a good one.
It makes me want a cupcake.

The Election cover is pretty bad, mainly cause the PICK FLICK is so large and close to the films title that to the uninitiated it looks like the film is named ELECTION PICK FLICK

I'm not a fan either, but the current one I have(giant Reese face) is creepy.
...and it is a nice cupcake.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN????
Tomorrow #Bergman100 will be launched at a press event in London. All will be revealed!
#ingmarbergman #Bergman100
They will unveil the programme for the centenary celebrations.
There will be a new blu-ray of Fanny & Alexander in Sweden.
And there is an ugly as fuck DVD collection coming out in the UK.
Haven't heard anything solid about new criterions though.
We're gonna need you to be our man on the streets in Sweden next year during the celebrations
Do I have to?We're gonna need you to be our man on the streets in Sweden next year during the celebrations
But I probably should have pointed out that the releases I mentioned has been announced previously:
The ugly dvd set (which is coming this year):
No cover for the new release of Fanny & Alexander though.
Yeah, so it ended up being just what I said, retroperspectives at a lot of places, theatre productions, exhibitions etc. of note:
and the only blu-ray news:
(don't worry kitty I'll pick it up and treasure it)

Psssshhhh we've had a fantastic blu-ray here for years! Really hope Criterion goes all out next year for it, since they've seemingly ignored him for a bit now when there's still a handful of huge titles to put out.

What was the last Bergman they released? Summer with Monika?
You're a little behind! I believe it was Cries and Whispers in March of 2015.

The new Studiocanal region B release has better compression iirc and is based on the same Criterion restoration. It has the same amount of extras (if not one or two more), but it is region B locked
VistraNorrez

That's right, if you can play the Studio Canal Mulholland Dr, it's the one to get. But I don't think anyone will be dissatisfied with the Criterion.
New restoration + hardcover book more than makes up for mediocre artwork though!

Why doesn't it include Rohmer's moral tales? I love Bakery Girl of Monceau.

No Claire's Knee no buy.
Region B people. Remember that this Rohmer set (the full full set) has english subtitles.
Got it for cheap (well, around 100€ on amazon.it a while ago) but doubt it will ever get this low again.
And you can get smaller sets too.
Four seasons
Comédies et proverbes
Moral tales
Edit: oh shit

It's not listed on Amazon, on DVDFr it's says that there aren't any subtitles (but they're not the most reliable).
I still maintain what I said when it was announced; the six discs that are part of the UK set will have English subtitles the others probably won't.
I really hate when they don't update listings. I've got a couple blu-rays preordered from Amazon JP right now that I'll probably have to cancel as I don't know if they'll have subtitles.

Yeah, probably. I'll try and see if I can get any more info on the set.
Edit: can't find any reliable source. Will have to wait for the release.
