sorry, I can't at the moment edit my comments together so... I apologize.

Here's the very advance blurb from Criterion's website indicating of the future Ran disc:

Kurosawa fans can also look forward to Criterion's upcoming edition of Ran, due out in late 2005 in a special edition which includes, among other features, an exclusive interview recently conducted in Tokyo with star Tatsuya Nakadai.

Finally - Ernst Lubitsch's Heaven Can Wait

I'm not necessarily a huge Criterion fan, but Au hasard Balthazar and Ran?? Awesome. Hoop Dreams, too.

Some awesome news.

Another announcement:

wendersfan believes in April Fools.

What makes you think that?

If the dimensions had been more DVD coverish, I think you woulda had me on that one, wendersfan! Still, one day... (I mean if "Berlin Alexanderplatz" can happen, why not "Satantango"?).

Yeah a very Criterionesque cover, but disproportioned, and not located on criterionco.com

One day both will be mine.
