They really need to fire their art director.

I'll be getting all three of these. Unbelievable year for Criterion. I have well over a hundred Criterions, have been collecting them since 1999, and this is IMO their best year ever.

Does the MK2 release include the documentaries (not the one on Kieslowski, but the ones by Kieslowski)?
There's a Polish release of Kieslowski's documentaries that I was thinking of picking up. I had thought it was supposed to be inclusive of all his docus, but it appears that there are two on Criterion's "Veronique" disc that aren't also included in the Polish set.

I strongly agree!
My only issue with them stems from the fact that up to this point they have not released a single Balkan director. Regardless, tapping in the sea of Spanish films out there is a great beginning. These next few months shape out to be amazing!

So with this Criterion release do we now know who held the U.S. rights to THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE?
Also looking forward to FALLEN IDOL as that was one of the first older films I remember seeing and it got me interested in others. Saw it late at night on A&E. They used to run it all the time years ago. Of course it was a grainy popping battered print but it still had me riveted.

I am going to quote myself here (see post 22):
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread....5&page=1&pp=25
And past history between Criterion and Miramax confirms that. The sad thing: it took a third party (Criterion) to figure out and clarify for the other two (Miramax/Paramount) who had the rights. How about that!!

Is anyone put off by the windowboxing Criterion are doing on their titles? Seduced and Abandonded is their first widescreen (non 4:3 AR) title to be so presented.

So this may mean that TDLoV will be windowboxed as well as the other two 4:3 titles.

It's a great company.

Excellent!!! I have been holding off ordering the R2 edition for quite some time (amazon.fr never has discount on some of the titles.) I definately go with Criterion now.

Maybe they can do Two English Girls by Truffaut one day (or Criterion), just a good release would be nice.

All 3 will be mine. Thank you Criterion! I just have to catch up on some of their recent releases. Pretty much all of the September and November releases will make it to my collection.
