As much as I would love to see that, I don't think that's what that the article was suggesting would happen. Especially since Warner has the video rights for the first two films...

Get a room!
 

You want to see slop's stiffy?

I understand there's a good hint Scanners will see a Criterion release, but what has hinted at a Brood and Crash release beyond speculation?

Thanks for the pointers for Crash and Brood, guys.

You mean you wouldn't? :D

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

In the video clip included in that article the interviewer brings up that different studios own the films, and questions whether a boxset would be possible. Linklater replies, "I think they could work that out." Now whether Criterion would be be the ones to do that is another thing.

Was there a bad pressing of "Badlands"? I got a copy from Best Buy the other day, and in the middle of chapter 11 the movie stops and the main menu appears. The disc is clean, with no visible defects, and I tried skipping to chapter 12 and reversing, but the same thing happens every time ...

Time to email Jon!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I did. :) Just wondered if anybody here might've had the same trouble.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I also bought Badlands at Best Buy, but I watched it a couple days ago on my Insignia (not the best of players) without issue. Might just be a single incident or an issue that's limited to a small batch.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

watched my copy yesterday with no issues.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

So do we think the announcement will only come on Monday?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

New title announcement? Didn't Criterion have one not too long ago?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

the new titles are announced on the 15th of every month - if the 15th falls on a weekend, then they are announced the following Monday

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Oh, you mean next Monday. I thought LPMA was talking about today.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

For some reason I didn't think it was automatic, I thought it was either the Friday or the Monday.

3 Films by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman

Includes:
-Stromboli
-Europa '51
-Journey to Italy

In the late 1940s, the incandescent Hollywood star Ingrid Bergman found herself so moved by the revolutionary neorealist films of Roberto Rossellini that she sent the director a letter, introducing herself and offering her talents. The resulting collaboration produced a series of films that are works of both sociopolitical concern and metaphysical melodrama, each starring Bergman as a woman experiencing physical dislocation and psychic torment in postwar Italy. It also famously led to a scandalous affair and eventual marriage between filmmaker and star, and the focus on their personal lives in the press unfortunately overshadowed the extraordinary films they made together. Stromboli, Europe ’51, and Journey to Italy are intensely personal portraits that reveal the director at his most emotional and the glamorous actor at her most anguished, and that capture them and the world around them in transition.

• New digital film restorations of the English- and Italian-language versions of Stromboli and Europe ’51 and the English-language version of Journey to Italy, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks on the Blu-ray editions
• Archival television introductions by director Roberto Rossellini to all three films
• Audio commentary for Journey to Italy featuring scholar Laura Mulvey
• Rossellini Through His Own Eyes, a 1992 documentary on the filmmaker’s approach to cinema, featuring archival interviews with Rossellini and actor Ingrid Bergman
• New visual essays about Rossellini by scholars Tag Gallagher and James Quandt
• Rossellini Under the Volcano, a 1998 documentary that returns to the island of Stromboli fifty years after the making of Stromboli
• New interview with critic Adriano Aprà about each of the films
• New interview with Fiorella Mariani, Rossellini’s niece, featuring home movies shot by Bergman
• New interview with film historian Elena Degrada about the different versions of Europe ’51
• New interviews with Isabella Rossellini and Ingrid Rossellini, daughters of Rossellini and Bergman
• Ingrid Bergman Remembered, a 1996 documentary on the actor’s life, narrated by her daughter Pia Lindstrom
• My Dad Is 100 Years Old, a 2005 short film, directed by Guy Maddin and starring Isabella Rossellini
• The Chicken, a 1952 short film by Roberto Rossellini, starring Bergman
• A Short Visit with the Rossellini Family, a six-minute film shot on Capri while the family was there during the production of Journey to Italy
• New English subtitle translation for Stromboli and Europe ’51
• PLUS: A booklet featuring essays by critics Richard Brody, Fred Camper, Dina Iordanova, and Paul Thomas; letters exchanged by Rossellini and Bergman; “Why I Directed Stromboli,” a 1950 article by Rossellini; a 1954 interview with Rossellini conducted by Eric Rohmer and François Truffaut for Cahiers du cinéma; and excerpts from a 1965 interview with Rossellini conducted by Aprà and Maurizio Ponzi for Filmcritica

La Cage aux Folles

Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) and Albin (Michel Serrault)—a middle-aged gay couple who are the manager and star performer at a glitzy drag club in St. Tropez—agree to hide their sexual identities, along with their flamboyant personalities and home decor, when the ultraconservative parents of Renato’s son’s fiancée come for a visit. This elegant comic scenario kicks off a wild and warmhearted farce about the importance of nonconformity and the beauty of being true to oneself. A modest French comedy that became a breakout art-house smash in America, Edouard Molinaro’s La Cage aux Folles inspired a major Broadway musical and the blockbuster remake The Birdcage. But with its hilarious performances and ahead-of-its-time social message, there’s nothing like the audacious, dazzling original movie.

• New 2K digital film restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
• New interview with director Edouard Molinaro
• Archival footage featuring actor Michel Serrault and Jean Poiret, writer and star of the original stage production of La Cage aux Folles
• New interview with Laurence Senelick, author of The Changing Room: Sex, Drag and Theatre
• French and U.S. trailers
• New English subtitle translation
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic David Ehrenstein
• More!

Autumn Sonata (with new extras)

Autumn Sonata was the only collaboration between cinema’s two great Bergmans—Ingmar, the iconic director of The Seventh Seal, and Ingrid, the monumental star of Casablanca. The grand dame, playing an icy concert pianist, is matched beat for beat in ferocity by the filmmaker’s recurring lead Liv Ullmann as her eldest daughter. Over the course of a long, painful night that the two spend together after an extended separation, they finally confront the bitter discord of their relationship. This cathartic pas de deux, evocatively shot in burnished harvest colors by the great Sven Nykvist, ranks among Ingmar Bergman’s major dramatic works.

• New 2K digital film restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
• Introduction by director Ingmar Bergman from 2003
• Audio commentary featuring Bergman expert Peter Cowie
• The Making of “Autumn Sonata,” a three-and-a-half-hour program examining every aspect of the production
• New interview with actor Liv Ullmann
• A 1981 conversation between actor Ingrid Bergman and critic John Russell Taylor at the National Film Theatre in London
• Trailer
• English-dubbed track
• New English subtitle translation
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Farran Smith Nehme

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

SLACKER and AUTUMN SONATA for me...and maybe the Rossellini set!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Being unfamiliar with the subject I was wondering why the set included the English and Italian versions of the first two films and not for Journey to Italy. It seems such a version existed but never actually got released?

ETA: It actually exists, and TCM showed the Italian version instead of the English one quite recently. I wonder why Criterion opted to neglect it for this movie?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

:up: same here

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Rosselini/Bergman...Day 1! I haven't been this excited about a Criterion announcement since the Neorealism War Trilogy and that wasn't even HD.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Autumn Sonata is a purchase.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

the Rossellini/Bergman set and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold definitely.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Still no "Life Aquatic". :(

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

oh hooray, I can sell off my unopened DVD copy of Slacker now!

I still want to punch someone over at Criterion for still not releasing 'The River' on blu. guess I'll just buy the import.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Criterion just posted this on tumblr:

http://25.media.tumblr.com/371c93e11...6iqo1_1280.jpg

YES PLEASE.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. PLEASE. YES. :thumbsup:

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Can I dream of a Lynch box set?

Eraserhead
Elephant Man (Hopefully negotiated before the WB deal)
Lost Highway
Mulholland Drive

fitprod

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Well if this wasn't a hint, at least Criterion should know that people are interested now. It's gotten more attention already in a very short amount of time than any of their other tumblr posts.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Holy shit. :up:

Yeah, this grown-ass man just squealed out loud.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Yeah, MhDr needed a good blu-ray like nothing else. I wonder if they'll darken the nudity like they did on the dvd.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

since that is how Lynch wanted it to look then yes, it'll be blurred.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Hot damn! A CC blu-ray of Mulholland Drive, now that's an exciting prospect.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

That "back alley man" dream sequence still floors me.
I almost passed out the first time I saw it.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Seeing it in a theater as a teenager, being completely unaware of both David Lynch or anything even remotely non-mainstream, was quite the experience.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

just saw the Mulholland Drive "news"
some of the best news since the beginning of this format!!!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I'm really optimistic but trying to remain cautious at the same time. They do tweet and post pictures of 'important' films they won't ever release from time to time.

One thing's for sure, it's a total Day 1 purchase from me. And I mostly tend to wait for half off sales.
