I know that Televisa owns some of his movies the bastards, but just show them some $$$ and they will give them to you, specially this ones who should be own by everyone who loves movies or owns a DVD player.

:-D

Los Olvidados
The Exterminating Angel
The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz
The Golden Age
Un Chien Andalou

There will be no Criterion release of at least three of these films:

Kino released L'Age d'or/The Golden Age on November 23rd.

Un chien andalou is being produced on DVD by Transflux Films and distributed by Facets, on December 28th.

Koch Lorber has bought the rights to Los Olvidados and plans to release it on DVD in 2005.

No word on who owns the DVD rights to The Exterminating Angel/El Ángel exterminador or The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz/Ensayo de un crimen. On VHS, they were released by Hen's Teeth Video and Water Bearer, respectively.

That said, most of us expect that Criterion's next Buñuel releases will be the two films which Rialto released theatrically, The Milky Way/La Voie lactée and The Phantom of Liberty/Le Fantôme de la liberté. Criterion also controls the rights to Tristana. These three could also make a nice box set.
