wish there was a BRUTE FORCE or LA HAINE reference...

Wild Strawberries on BD is a definite purchase for me. Probably my favorite Bergman... and that's saying a lot.

I know this is in the link, but I've looked around at tons of speculation from Facebook, Criterion Cast, Criterion Forum, here, etc. and I'm going to list what current speculation is saying for all of these. So here goes:

-Space Station = Solaris (obviously upgraded to Blu)
-Patch of Strawberries = Wild Strawberries (Upgrade To Blu)
-Man with glasses and wrapped head on side of boat = Polanski's Cul-De-Sac
-Shining Briefcase = Kiss Me Deadly
-Man with gun = Carlos
-Ghost Cat = Kuroneko (Please let this mean we'll get an upgraded Onibaba!)
-Globe = The Great Dictator
-Einstein/Monroe mash-up = Nicholas Roeg's Insignifigance
-Calendar = Sunday, Bloody Sunday
-Can of coffee & blade = ??? - the consensus seems to be White Material (the
suggestion of Jarmusch's Coffee & Cigarettes and Ghost Dog would make me
happy though)
-Woman dancing=?
-Spanish sign = Y Tu Mama Tambien
-Head in water = Diabolique
-Kid with Pillow = Zero For Conduct
-Boat = ??? (many think it is Vigo's L'Atalante to go with Zero For Conduct)
-Splashing water = ??? (could be Breaking The Waves)
-Snow & Stars = ??? (could be the Ice Storm, but the snow isn't heavy so
???)

HumanMedia

Only its not the right type of boat (ocean liner) for L'Atalante.
Im starting the think the other guesses for 'Life Aquatic' may be correct.

While the Y Tu Mama Tambien DVD was already a pretty good release, I'm looking forward to Criterion's release, if only because we know we'll see a Blu-Ray release...

I've also kept putting off getting Solaris for some time, looks like my patience will be rewarded...

I'm in for at least "Y Tu Mama Tambien" and "The Great Dictator" on Blu-ray (hopefully).

Assuming the snow and the stars are two different movies, I wonder if the falling snow could be Snow Falling on Cedars. A Criterion BD would be a nice showcase of the fantastic cinematography.

Solid Snake

what's the story on the studio canal films that CC has...did SC take the rest back or what?

MTRodaba2468

Once Criterion's licenses expire, they will revert back to Studio Canal.

The problem with Snow Falling on Cedars is that while it is a beautiful movie, the storytelling style makes it nearly incoherent.

Greg MacGuffin

I saw Kuroneko the other night and thought it was fantastic. Very excited to pick that one up.

I thought about that at first, but then remembered that Criterion has quite a few stinkers in the collection already. Snow Falling on Cedars wouldn't be the worst film in the collection.

A stinker in the Criterion Collection?! Sacre Bleu!!

Daytripper

I'm watching "Delicatessen" now on BD via netflix and they had an intro for other Studio Canal BD's coming out in 2010. Some of the titles were "Belle de Jour", "The Deer Hunter" and "The Elephant Man". I never read about these coming out soon and it's now 2011. Any info?

doctorthodt

They were released in Europe.

Daytripper

Thanks for that quick response. Is there a list of these films released only in Europe (so far)?

I'm surprised there weren't any screencaps of the color sequences. Looks like another fine release. Criterion really are the kings.

PopcornTreeCt

I really like how Criterion's approach to Blu-ray has almost been to go back to the very earliest titles and re-release them first.
