Wow. Amazing covers once again. I'm especially looking forward to "Night and the City". But when will we get more Buñuel?
|
I'm hoping that My Own Private Idaho is the one without the cover.
|
Number 273 is Jules Dassin's Thieves' Highway
Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho also shows up as a Feburary release (Number 277). |
"Night And The City"! Great film! Really looking forwards to "Thieves Highway", as well. Bring on more film noir from Criterion!
|
Looking forward to the Bertolucci and Godard. All nice cover art!
|
Those Dassin movies look interesting. Oh my poor aching wallet.
|
I'm just psyched about Night & the City, I'll netlix the Godard, the rest I could care less about.
|
I am all over these... :)
|
Wow. Didn't think I'd ever see <i>Tout va Bien</i> get released over here in the US on DVD. Great news for a great (and rarely seen) film.
|
Nice, some great stuff there. I'm still holding hope for a Criterion PIERROT LE FOU and/or BREATHLESS, so more Godard titles are always cool to see as well.
|
How can you be excited about one Dassin, but not be excited about another which is almost toally unseen? Tsk, tsk!
These releases have either been obvious or hinted at for quite awhile, but its still a joy to hear about them. The Dassin films and Idaho are mine, and I'll netflix the others eagerly. The Criterion board says that Renoir's The River is going to be Spine 246, though nobody's explained how they know it, as neither artwork nor specs have appeared on the site. If its true, THIS, not My Private Idaho, will be the big Criterion of the month, as the film is being given the ultra resolution treatment. |
I'm excited about the River too. I've heard and read good things about it.

sweet!, now if Criterion could squeeze Bertolucci's 1900 out of Paramount's hands...
|
I've never heard of Box Art Coming soon
;) nothing on that list of any interest to me :( |
I'm interest in all of them, though the only ones I know I'll buy are "My Own Private Idaho" and "Night and the City." The rest I'll rent and buy if I like them...
(Just to help my wallet out a bit...) |
Can't wait to pick up "Box Art Coming Soon", glad to see Criterion finally got their hands on the rights
In all honestly Godard and Bertolucci are sold, I'll check out the Dessine and MOPI, which I hope doesn't suck unlike the other van Sant movie I've seen (coughElephantcough) |
Funny how even the box art for the "box art coming soon" is better than most companies box art ;)
|
I'm really looking forward to the two Dassin noirs. Of special interest on both of those are the commentaries. We get another DVD Savant commentary which is nice because I enjoyed his commentary on Gun Crazy, but even more of note is a commentary by Alain Silver, by far my favorite and the most accomplished film noir writer, and the author of the Film Noir Reader series as well as the ultimate noir volume, Film Noir: An Encyclopedia Reference to the American Style. Is this his first audio commentary? I'm not aware of another one he's done anyway.

Please Criterion release some more Luis Bunuel Please!!!!
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 |
These look awesome. I am going to need to find some money for all of the great releases they have in the nextfew months.
