I just received my Rossellini set from the last sale. Have they commented at all on why Journey to Italy doesn't have its Italian version included?

To my knowledge, they haven't commented on it. My guess is that they view the Italian language version as just an unnecessary dub since the main characters are supposed to be foreigners.

Isn't the dub just a dub and it's cut version too? I'd fail to see the point to include it. It's not like its what Lang had with M.

I never bought IAMMMMW and the last time I saw it was on a double VHS in the early 90's, so I'm down for this. I'm always happy with Kurosawa but hey Criterion. It's been three and a half fucking years since the complete box set. You think you can finally release Madadayo separately?

You could probably write the reviewers to get more info.

Is the complete boxset not worth it or is it just too expensive?

Well first off it's DVD only and around $300 (at time of release, OOP now I think). Plus they cut out some extra features from some of the movies. At that time, if you didn't have any of his movies or a BD player then hell yeah. But now, I doubt it, especially since more of his catalogue is on BD. For me personally, I had enough of his movies separately that it wouldn't justify a purchase, and I have most of his movies now, so it's not worth it at this point, even if it looks nice.

Most people I've seen are claiming it's for Harold Lloyd's The Freshman.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Criterion Nov. 4 said they have signed a multi-year distribution and administrative deal. Under terms of the agreement, Sony will handle distribution, replication, inventory management, shipping and accounts receivable for Criterion.

David Bishop, president of SPHE, said Criterion’s 30-year legacy of delivering important classic and contemporary films into the home entertainment market is buttressed by the exacting standards each Blu-ray Disc and DVD release must meet.

“This is why SPHE is honored that Criterion has chosen to partner with us to ensure its future legacy by duplicating and efficiently distributing products equal to the high standards it demands,” Bishop said.

The Criterion Collection features more than 150 movies. Each film is presented uncut, in its original aspect ratio, as its filmmaker intended it to be seen. Criterion uses state-of-the-art telecine equipment and select colorists during the film-to-video digital transfer, according to CEO Jonathan Turell.

Whenever possible, Criterion works with the original directors and cinematographers to ensure that the look of the releases does justice to their intentions.

Turell said Criterion’s bonus material enables viewers to appreciate the films in context, through audio commentaries by filmmakers and scholars, restored director’s cuts, deleted scenes, documentaries, shooting scripts, early shorts and storyboards.

“We’re proud to release many great films from Sony’s library in Criterion and very much look forward to continuing our long relationship,” Turell said. “We think they are an ideal partner as we look forward to expanding our direct relationships with our key customers.”

Nice! This brings some hope that we could one day see Linklater's "Before" trilogy released by Criterion. Now, if they can get the rights to the parts one and two from Warner Bros.

LPMA	11-08-13 12:45 PM

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

So that means Sony Pictures will take over everything distribution-wise?

Also, "more than 150 movies"?!

Well, technically that's correct...

I wonder if we could get some more Godzilla titles that Sony has the rights to, at least on the Eclipse label. I'd love to see the Rebirth of Mothra films in a decent release.

THAT would be fucking killer! A Godzilla Eclipse set would be so sweet. Hell, even an Eclipse set for other Toho kaiju/tokusatsu films would make me happy.

Showa Godzilla. I'd kill to have that from CC. LOVED what they did with the first one. I may not like the American version of it but I totally admire that they put it out as well.

I think they'd at least have their foot in the door though. They won't get something like Lawrence of Arabia, but we could see a few new release titles from Sony Pictures Classics.

Maybe, maybe not. What did CC pull from the Image catalog?

Criterion actually had Lawrence.... Back in the LD days. Not sure which cut it was. Any LD scholars here?

And I'm hoping Criterion does a Godzilla set like the upcoming Zatoichi set. Whic was something they tried back in the LD days.

Quick question for the sale: what are some other good sci-fi like flicks in the collection? DVD or Blu is okay.

I've got Things To Come in my sights, are there any more titles like Solaris?

It was 217 minutes long... I believe the intermission was not included.

I would just like know if they got the rights to the other Godzilla films, which were planned, announced and cancelled back in the LD days. - Godzilla vs Monster Zero; Godzilla vs Mothra; Godzilla's Revenge and Terror of Mechagodzilla.
