Someone emailed Criterion and got confirmation that If... is to be released in June.

Looks like Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole will be a Criterion, too (according to a "hint" on Home Theater Forum). Paramount seems to have finally wised up and start licensing films to them. I hope it's not too much to hope for that they can also get a hold on some Republic films (they dealt with Lionsgate for Kicking and Screaming). I'd love to see what they could do with the Republic serials. Og Oggilby fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Feb 23, 2007 |

If there was a Criterion of Ball of Fire, I could die a happy person.

Also, Fox licenses films to Criterion, so they could actually lend some of the UA Wilders since only Some Like It Hot and The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes got decent releases. I'm fairly sure Cameron Crowe has said he has enough audio interviews with Billy Wilder to construct commentaries for his films, especially The Apartment. Considering the MGM DVD is an up-rezzed 16x9 master from the old 4x3 laserdisc transfer, we could have an improvement. Fox could also allow Criterion to put the three Selznick Hitchcocks back into print (as well as Straw Dogs), as well as create new DVDs of The Paradine Case and the StudioCanal/Carlton films MGM licensed a long time ago (including Sabotage, Secret Agent, Young and Innocent, and The Man Who Knew Too Much '34), the two Fellini United Artists films (Satryicon and Roma), the UA and Orion Woody Allen films (Annie Hall especially, and the ABC Films licensed Take The Money and Run, which is P&S-only from MGM), Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise, Welles' The Stranger, The Graduate, 12 Angry Men, and a lot of David Lean (pretty much all his pre-Summertime films besides the already-released Brief Encounter, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist).

As far as the Wilder commentary would go, I'm normally very leery of chopped interviews, but Criterion's good enough at editing that it would probably work out. I would probably commit murder to get a Criterion of the Stranger. I've got that on VHS, it's great but it could be so much more. A re-release of Rebecca would be nice, since I sold my old copy for rent money, but I'd probably wind up down on the deal since I already have Spellbound and Notorious. Oh, well.

Yet another newsletter, this one about eclipse. The third set will be more of Ozu's post-'Banshun' films, with five titles in all. To the best of my knowledge all are already available with English subtitles, either from England, Hong Kong or Australia. http://www.criterion.com/newsletters/eclipsefeb07/newsletter_eclipse.html They also seem to be asking for submissions for other eclipse titles. Is anyone planning on emailing them anything? I have a few ideas, although I doubt that they would be interested in any of them. edit - also, quote:three films by Raymond Bernard, an unknown master of 1930s French cinema, whose Les misérables is considered by many to be the finest screen adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel, and whose Wooden Crosses is one of cinema’s strongest antiwar films. Rest assured that in the coming months Eclipse will offer some of the most sought-after titles from the world’s greatest filmmakers, as well as eye-opening discoveries from around the world.

Oh god, I bet the criterionforum people are geeking out right now. Although I imagine they're lamenting that these aren't getting the full Criterion treatment. I've seen Early Summer and Late Spring, but never Early Spring or Late Autumn (drat you, Ozu, drat you and your confusing titles). And I've seen the other three films in this box mentioned many times. I'm not really an Ozu fanatic, but his stuff is pleasant. And I adore Setsuko Hara. I'd kill for any decent presentation of Satyajit Ray (they have ZERO Indian films in the collection), but mostly I'd like to be exposed to more new stuff, like the Raymond Bernard.

They (Criterion) are apparently in talks with UCSC over some Ray titles. I actually didn't know that UCSC was the North American rights holder, but I think the MoC edition of 'Abhijan' also used elements from their library, so maybe that is the case. Sony had released some of Ray's films in the past (both on VHS and DVD), which I think were from the Merchant Ivory restorations.

ALL MELVILLE ALL THE TIME Les Enfants Terribles, Le Silence de la Mer, Le Deuxième souffle all interest me to some extent. I'd add Le Doulos but it looks like that one may get a Criterion.

Also, according to the Criterion Forum... Permament Vacation, Stranger than Paradise, Le Feu Follet, and a Martin Scorsese shorts compilation are all in the works too. vertov posted:They also seem to be asking for submissions for other eclipse titles. Is anyone planning on emailing them anything? I have a few ideas, although I doubt that they would be interested in any of them. While I'd really like some commentaries and at least one short documentary, an Eclipse set with a bunch of British Hitchcock films would be great. Perhaps with Sabotage, Secret Agent, Young and Innocent, Number 17, and The Man Who Knew Too Much '34. Blackmail should be saved for a full Criterion since it's his most important British film other than The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes. A Jacques Tati set with Jour de Fete (both the color and B&W versions), Trafic, and Parade (all six Tati features were released by Criterion on laserdisc). Maybe throw in the recently restored English version of Mon oncle, too. Mferkinwalter posted:If there was a Criterion of Ball of Fire, I could die a happy person.

While I suggested the Hitchcock and Tati sets for Eclipse, I also suggested getting Lionsgate and Paramount to license some Republic serials... perhaps putting 3-4 in a collection (namely, The Adventures of Captain Marvel, Spy Smasher, Undersea Kingdom, and Secret Service in Darkest Africa). Also mentioned somehow getting an animation release. If it wasn't for the necessity of having Warner/Disney styled extras-laden sets, I'd almost want Eclipse to get out a complete set of Max Fleischer cartoons (Betty Boop, Koko, Color Classics, and the rest - all from Lionsgate and Paramount).

Criterion has amended their listing for the new 2-disc SE of The Third Man. They're now listing three additional supplements: a second commentary with Steven Soderbergh and Tony Gilroy, an hour-long documentary on Graham Greene (from BBC's Omnibus), and a 30 min. German documentary "Who Was the Third Man?" Also, Criterion is apparently working on John Huston's Under the Volcano.

Bah. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I just spent a bunch on that Best Buy sale/glitch or whatever it was this week, so I'm going to try and hold back on this sale. It's funny though because just yesterday I was thinking to myself, "Isn't there usually a 40% off Criterion sale in February? Guess they didnt bother this time around." I'm torn between a few titles; I'm leaning towards Mouchette (or maybe Pickpocket), or Bicycle Thieves, possibly Beauty and the Beast, or Videodrome, or Viridiana... I really want to see Secret Honor, but I don't know. Spirit of the Beehive, maybe? I think the main contendors right now are Mouchette, Bicycle Thieves, and Spirit of the Beehive. The sad thing is I'll go on like this for days until I finally come to a fairly impulsive decision.

I am merely making oblique reference to the fact that the man who identifies the killer (whom I always think of as "M" because of the chalk mark and also because I can never remember the character's name) is blind, and thus has not seen M, but has heard things. Which, if you are a fan of Grieg, might be considered "good".
