It does not mention HDR or Dolby Vision, so I'm going to say... probably not.

Disappointed that they didn't use the classic Arsenic and Old Lace one-sheet for their cover :

I love that new (and old) Arsenic and Old Lace artwork
Without HDR or DV, I’ll probably pass on the UHD of Night Of The Living Dead.

I wonder if they would ever do Lynch's The Straight Story. That's about my speed as far as Lynch is concerned (plus Dune).

Disney owns the US rights to The Straight Story so probably not a chance in hell. Dune just had a 4K and BD release from Arrow that are still in print.

Agreed. My guess is that The Straight Story is the Lynch film for those who don't share his particular sensibility. I am one of those. The acclaim for his films perplexes me, but I do love The Straight Story.

Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to buy that Dune set without the extended cut included. I have the DVD version and the theatrical on Blu for now.

Yeah, it's amazing how much I liked the Straight Story. I may just buy that import blu-ray someday.

I don't buy a lot of Criterion titles, but I'm excited about Arsenic and Old Lace. I'll definitely be picking it up.

Wow, Eve’s Bayou! Finally getting some deserved love. I hope Kasi Lemmons has some big contributions to this release.

Same boat here, I have the Criterion Blu and will hold off until reviews to make a decision. Still a classic.

I saw "CURE" and got excited thinking they were going to release The Cure in Orange and/or Show.

I know Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure (1997) has been available overseas on BD for a bit but I'm still very excited about the announcement.

La Llorona (2019) is a fantastic announcement too!

Yes on both counts. I will be adding both to the collective.

I am so excited for Eve's Bayou and Arsenic & Old Lace. The former includes both versions of the film and the original (and very honest) commentary track.

Is there an easy way to import that?

Back to Criterion - is Cure a supernatural horror or 'asshole with a knife' horror?

Have a friend in Europe purchase it and reship to you. And be aware that no matter how carefully and thoroughly they pack it, the acrylic case will in most likelihood arrive damaged.

Busting out my Europe Rolodex right now. Who can't turn down a nearly guaranteed arrival of broken stuff that comes at a high price.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure.
About fucking time.
I can finally upgrade the 18 year old DVD from Home Vision Entertainment.
Now if we can only have Seance and Charisma.

You can see where a piece of mine broke off in the upper right corner.

I saw that and it sucks. I know that the set is not cheap and you would think they would have done a better job with it and with the packaging.

That acrylic case will also end up scratched and scuffed not matter how gently you treat it.
