Which Tarkovsky's on bluray?
Solaris has just been released by Criterion. A stunning presentation of the movie.
And Andrei Roublev has been released in Russia (see the relevant post on forum.blu-ray).
What about other Tarkovsky's?
Will Criterion release more? Or BFI perhaps?

Re: Which Tarkovsky's on bluray?
Kino is releasing The Sacrifice on Blu-ray on July 5th: http://www.kino.com/video/item.php?product_id=1457
Kino has the rights to Stalker and The Mirror, but no word on a Blu-ray release of those. I'm not sure about the remaining three films. Presumably Criterion is still holding onto Ivan's Childhood and Andrei Rublev, and those are likely just a matter of time if that's the case. No idea about Nostalghia, unfortunately.
Artificial Eye is releasing a DVD set of all seven of Tarkovsky's films this summer in the UK, but there's no word on a Blu-ray version that I've seen. It's also uncertain if their collection will draw from new transfers or if it's just older discs being repackaged.

Re: Which Tarkovsky's on bluray?
Thanks.
I'll buy The sacrifice when it's available for Europe.
Even though I find the BR a bit expensive, like most BRs!
As a comparison, BFI released several Ozu's on BR at a very reasonable price (especially the first ones).
